Whittling Chip

JD has been working hard on his Bear Award requirements.  Here he is presenting his family tree to his pack.
The boys were all VERY EXCITED to earn their Whittling Chip which gives them the priviledge of carrying a pocket knife when we are camping.  To practice they were given a bar of soap and a plastic knife.  Everyone worked at shaving off small layers.
It isn't NEARLY as easy as it looks.  All the boys had a pretty good pile of shavings in front of them and I'm happy to report that nobody left to get stitches.  That's how you judge a good scouting event.  It ended without a trip to the emergency room.
