Earn the Official BSA Whittling Chip Wallet Card
!
The Official
Whittling Chip wallet card can be earned by Bear Cub Scouts by
mastering the "Knife Safety Rules" on this page. The object is to teach a boy
that: "A Cub
Scout knife is an important tool. You can do many things with its blades. The
cutting blade is the one you will use most of the time. With it you can make
shavings and chips and carve all kinds of things. You must be very careful when you whittle or
carve. Take good care of your knife. Always remember that a knife is a tool,
not a toy. Use it with care so that you don't hurt yourself or ruin what you
are carving." Knives Are Not Toys 
Whittlin' Chip 
Close the blade with the palm of your
hand.
Never use a knife on something that will
dull or break it.
Be careful that you do not cut yourself
or any person nearby.
Never use a knife to strip the bark from
a tree .
Do not carve your initials into anything
that does not belong to you.
I understand the reason for safety rules.
I will treat my pocketknife with the respect
due a useful tool. I will always close my pocketknife and put it
away when I'm not using it. I will not use my
pocketknife when it might injure someone near me. I promise never to throw my
pocketknife for any reason. I will
use my pocketknife in a safe manner at all times.
