The Totin' Chip is an award in Boy Scouts of America that shows Scouts understand and agree to certain principles of using different tools with blades. With this, a Scout has the right to carry and use woods tools. A Scout must demonstrate to his Scout leader, or someone designated by his leader, that he understands his responsibility. The basic principle for blade-use in the Boy Scouts is to use blades only for constructive purposes. Basic safety rules and requirements for this recognition are: # Read and understand woods tools use and safety rules from the Boy Scout Handbook. # Demonstrate proper handling, care, and use of the pocket knife, axe, and saw. # When not using a blade keep it covered (sheaths, folding knives, etc.). # Use only sharp clean blades, as they are less likely to slip. # When carrying blades, keep them sheathed and keep axe and saw blades at your side with the blade perpendicular to your body. # When passing a blade it must be closed or sheathed. Before you let go the other person acknowledges that they are holding the blade by saying 'thank you'. # Check to make sure no one is in your blood circle before you use a blade (i.e. No one within your maximum reach with the blade). # When using a knife cut away from yourself, preferably while sitting at a table. # When using an axe, saw, or hatchet wear safety glasses and gloves and ensure that when you cut through the object you will encounter something hard. # Respect property. Only cut dead trees and with good reason. Make sure you have permission before cutting any trees, living or dead. # Subscribe to the Outdoor Code. A scout is given a Totin' Chip card when he meets the requirements. A Scout can lose "Totin' Rights" if he commits a severe violation of the rules. If a scout loses his "Totin' Rights" he may get it back by taking the lesson again and passing the requirements. A Totin' Chip is required for the Woodcarving merit badge and to choose a knife prize for selling popcorn. A similar award, the Firem'n Chit, allows the Scout to build and light campfires, as well as carry matches. In a similar vein, the Scout has a set of rules to follow when using fire and can lose the rights by breaking these rules. ==See also== Firem'n Chit 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Totin' Chip」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
