Scout leader Richard Sowdon, created kits with buckles, and pre-fused paracord and mailed them to his pathfinders. \u00a0Cord colors were in the same color as the group neckers, black and gold. \u00a0The patrol leaders chose to teach the cobra pattern, as it is the most basic to learn. \u00a0The zoom meeting involved watching videos and having both scouts and leaders take turns explaining to the rest of the group step by step how to make the bracelets. From how to attach the buckles to the cord, to how to weave the pattern, to how to finish, each step was slowly explained.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-894 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guides4guides.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2244-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guides4guides.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2244-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.guides4guides.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2244-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guides4guides.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2244-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.guides4guides.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2244-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.guides4guides.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2244.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for an idea for your pathfinders, we think you should give it a try!<\/p>\n<p>You can find directions here: (you really don&#8217;t need the fancy loom) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/Basic-Paracord-Cobra-Bracelet\/\">https:\/\/www.instructables.com\/Basic-Paracord-Cobra-Bracelet\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And you can even watch a video, this one is nice and slow:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pg5AxDppslc\"> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pg5AxDppslc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The BlackBears are now planning to experiment with making other paracord items including key chains and zipper pulls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Has your group made anything from paracord?
