Turks Head Knots
Technically, these are instructions for a three lead, four bight Turkshead, meaning that there are three basic passes around the knot, and it loops up and down four times in going around. There are many, many other types of Turksheads, see the books in the bibliography for descriptions of how to tie the others.

More Turks Head Knots
Knots can be attractive and decorative in addition to being useful. This article describes several decorative knots which were chosen for their symmetric and attractive qualities, as well as for their ease of tying. There are many other decorative knots, but they can be quite complex to tie (in other words, I didn't include them here because I haven't yet figured out how to tie them properly!).

Lightning Safety
If you go camping frequently, the chances are good that you'll run into all kinds of weather conditions, whether it is merely a drizzling rain or something much worse. Each year at campouts, camporees, and camps thousands of Scouts will get a first-hand opportunity to experience a thunderstorm. And that means lightning.
