Scout Knots Animated

I was never a Boy Scout, and no one ever showed me how to tie good knots in rope. The 42nd Scout Group in East Sussex, U.K., thought others might be in my boat too (drifting out to sea because we didn't tie off correctly) and did something about it: they have simple animations that show how to tie knots. Even their copyright terms are a model of easy understanding: "Do not copy these animated knots pages and text and publish them on the Internet or elsewhere. If you want to put animated knots on your website then please draw your own." Refreshing.
