A knot is a way of fastening a rope or line by tying it in a particular way. Each kind of knot has a particular use, such as attaching the rope to an object or to another rope or securing something.
Girl Scouts should know how to tie a bowline, a clove hitch, a half hitch, a lark's knot (sometimes called the calf hitch), an overhand knot, a sheepshank, a sheet bend, a square or reef knot, and a taut-line hitch.
Keep in mind that sometimes you might need to try a few different ways of tying a particular knot before you find the way that works best for you.
Here is a video demonstrating the bowline, clovehitch, sheetbend, tautline, timber hitch, square knot, and two half-hitches:
