TOTIN’ CHIP

When a scout demonstrates that he knows how he handles woods tools, he may be granted totin’ rights. To get the totin’ chip you need to: Read and understand woods tools and safety rules from the Boy Scout Handbook, demonstrate proper handling, care use of the pocket knife, ax and saw, use the knife, ax, and saw as tools, not playthings. Use them only when you are willing to give them your full attention, respect all safety rules to protect others, respect property, cut living and dead trees with only permission and a good reason and subscribe to the outdoor code.
