Requirement 3 – Throwing RopeExplain why it is useful to be able to throw a rope, then demonstrate how to coil and throw a 40-foot length of 1/4- or 3/8-inch rope.
Explain how to improve your throwing distance by adding weight to the end of your rope.
134
Rope
Throwing Rope – Coiling • Coiling the Rope is important to keep rope from tangling
• As you loop rope over non-throwing hando Make each successive coil smaller than the coil before ito This helps with tangling
135

Rope
Throwing Rope – Coiling • If needed, anchor end of rope
136
scoutpioneering.com/tag/throwing-a-ropepioneeringmeritbadge.org/coiling-and-throwing-rope
Anchor if needed
Rope
Throwing Rope – Preparing to Throw the Rope• Take about 2/3rds of the coiled rope into your throwing hand• Release one loop from your non-throwing hand
o This creates slack between hands• Hold nonthrowing hand out
o Allows rope to peel off easily
137

Rope
Throwing Rope – Throwing• Swing Throwing arm in an arc a couple of times to get a feel of rope• Determine your release point and release rope• Released rope will pull rope from non-throwing hand
