Ax, Saw, and Knife Policy

To carry a knife or use a saw or axe, a Scout must have a Tot’n Chip with at least one corner intact and dated for the current year. The Tot’n Chip is granted after completing instruction on the proper use of these devices. If an axe, saw, or knife is, in the opinion of the Scoutmaster, misused, the Scout loses a corner of the Chip. When all four corners are gone, the Scout loses the right to use these tools until the Scout has completed the instructions again.
