I have been in the scouting program for over 25 years. I am an Eagle scout and I have my wood badge to name a few. This was a very good video and I will be showing my troop this for knife safety. keep up the good work.
Man. The memories. My father was my scout leader. Until the State stepped in to "help" and put me in foster care when my mom left the family... those were great times
It just takes pulling out the Scout handbook and practicing the skills before you teach them. It’s what I love about the process, for adult leaders. It causes us to visit and learn these skills so we can effectively pass them on.
I don’t mean to be critical with the video. I did find some helpful tips for teaching my Bears. You said to “cut off the corner of the whittling chip”. That is no longer the practice in Scouting, they lose the the card and must complete more training to earn it back. Just thought you might like to know.
The Boy Scouts of America does not recommend that you have a blade that does not lock. That is not stated in the Guide to Safe Scouting nor is it stated in the handbook or field book. The Guide to Safe Scouting does not prohibit fixed blade knives. Individual scout troops and councils have made their own rules about knives for years.
I agree. I recorded this video for our local pack who requires a non-locking blade (as does our council), sort of just my way of calling them out on nonsense :)

Awesome. Keep going with the Scouts. They need us now more than ever. Thanks.
Thank you for the video. Thanks for the idea for the "Fire fly" They are on Amazon. 3 pack for $20.
My pleasure

sorry to hear that, hold on to those good memories.
So awesome! Thank you. This is going to be an awesome resource for my Bear Den. Good review for my new Boy Scout too.
It's a very special time for them, and YOU. Congratulations and have fun!
Thank you for this very helpful video!! I shared it during our Bear Claws virtual lesson. I appreciate the share. 🐻⚜️💙
Glad it was helpful!
Bro this is awesome I am a den leader and NEVER done scouts ever so I am going to rely on you for everything lol.

It depends on the pack. Different councils follow different guidelines.
