To earn this certification, study the Boy Scout Handbook and the Camping merit badge pamphlet, and demonstrate to your Scoutmaster or other qualified person the following:
- Show that you have earned the Totin' Chip.
- Help a Scout or patrol earn the Totin' Chip and demonstrate to him (them) the value of proper woods-tools use on a troop camping trip.
- With official approval and supervision do ONE of the following:
- Clear trails or fire lanes for 2 hours.
- Trim a downed tree, cut into 4-foot lengths and stack; make a brush pile with branches.
- Build a natural retaining wall or irrigation way to aid in a planned conservation effort.
A few changes since I earned it back in the early 80's. Then you had to fall your own tree for part 3.b. Since I don't have a downed tree - Adrian is taking this tree down.
It is going to take Adrian a while, but as he progresses through the tree, so too will his skills with an axe.
