Back when I was a Cub Scout Leader (see my tagline to know what uniform I wear now) I taught Whittling Chip as one of our last meeting for the year. The next fall I asked my den how many of them used their pocketknife over the summer. They all raised their hands. Then I asked how many cut themselves. Same response. Everybody laughed.
This is a TRUE story...I taught some new Webelos (our son was one) their Whittlin’ Chip and right after the meeting, our son pleaded with mom to use his brand new, never opened Swiss Army knife to carve on a bar of soap.
Cut himself within 5 minutes and the wife was mad...”Hey!” I told her, “at least the knife was clean and all we have to do is a butterfly bandage and a bandaid.”
She was NOT amused...to this day, our son is proud of that scar.
