Knife Safety

We’ve talked about knives, their importance in Scouting, and their utility as tools...but how do you use one safely? Podcast Topics Building off of Episode 74 - What's In a Knife?, Ken and Colin return again to the topic of one of the most valuable Scouting tools...this time with an eye toward how to use a knife safely. Much of this episode is based off of the knowledge requirements of the Knife Permit that Scouts in Scouts Canada can earn; the guide to earning the permit is well worth a read as a resource for teaching knife safety. Shout-Outs One shout-out goes out to David Walker with the 3rd Blueberry Scout Group in Alberta; he invited us to attend an open house at Scoutland, a Scouts Canada lease located on Chickakoo Lake west of Edmonton. The open house takes place on July 24th, beginning at 10:00 AM; if you've never checked Scoutland out, consider doing so! And another shout-out goes to Scouter Tara of the 163rd Winnipeg Cubs, and her two sons Keiran and Keagan, who raised $1,000 (their goal) in funding for Rescue Siamese, a Winnipeg-based cat rescue organization. This was their project for their North Star Awards; well done, to both! And, as always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.
