I did all the Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting growing up. When you get to a certain age in they introduce pocket knifes to you. They teach you a whole bunch of rules to follow that help keep you safe from injury. In Boy Scouts they give you the Totin' Chip Card after you learn it all. Well I broke one of the rules today. I cut toward myself. You aren't supposed to do that in case the knife slips and you cut yourself. Well I cut toward myself and slipped and cut myself. I guess I will get my Totin' Chip taken from me now. It wasn't a bad cut, but that doesn't matter, it was still a cut that was caused by not following the rules. I guess I won't be able to carry my trusty Swiss Army knife now. I will be lost with out it. It is my fault though.
I have never heard of the totin chip - nice educational post.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the boy scouts did cooler stuff than the girl scouts.
Bad Billy. But I don't think you get your card taken away for one infraction. If I remember correctly they would bend or tear a corner and when you reached 4 infractions it was taken away. So you can keep your Swiss army knife.
ReplyDeleteOh, Billy.
