Whittling!


After spending the previous meeting reviewing pocketknife safety, Scouts in the Bear and Arrow of Light dens spent the last meeting whittling. Using "knives" made out of popsicle sticks (and one Cub Scout pocketknife) the boys did a great job carving canoes out of soap.

Best of all, we never needed to open the First Aid kit.
