Bear parents,

FYI. We are going to start earning the whittling chip this week. The Whittling Chip gives the scout permission to carry a knife. All knife use MUST be closely monitored by an adult at Scout functions and I strongly encourage you to maintain the same standard at home. This week will be knife safety with maybe a little soap carving with plastic knives. I will provide all materials for this topic - DO NOT SEND KNIVES WITH THE BOYS.
