Den Meeting 11-14-11

In tonight's den meeting, we learned about pocketknives and pocketknife safety. We started the meeting by discussing how to properly use a pocketknife and when it is safe to use it. We learned how to sharpen our knife and to make sure our safety circle is in place before we start. All Scouts recited the "pocketknife pledge" and once they understood and agreed to the terms, were allowed to proceed with the exercise. The exercise tonight was to carve out a three dimensional shape using our whittling skills. Everyone did a great job!
