Totin' Chip

Tonight we worked on the requirements for the Totin' Chip award. Two scouts completed the training and now are allowed to carry and use woods tools. Requirements for the Totin' Chip include learning proper handling, use, and care of a pocket knife, ax, and saw. The next step for these scouts will be to work on the Paul Bunyan Woodsman award, which is an application of the skills learned in Totin' Chip.

Camping and Cooking

At last month's camping trip our scouts were all working on the cooking requirement for their tenderfoot advancement. Everyone took part and the meal was enjoyed by all. For most of the boys, this was the first time that they had participated in outdoor cooking activities. Bacon anyone!
