Hey guys, Mac Guzman here. This video is how to earn the Totin' Chip. While the title says "CLOSEST" thing to weapons, the topics will teach you that these are TOOLS and in no way real weapons.
This video shows examples on proper care and use of a knife, axe, and saw as I demonstrate how to properly use them.
Remember that these are tools, and as a scout you have a responsibility to treat them as such. Learn how the Totin' chip affects your scouting experience.
In this video, I attempt to answer the following questions:
- Where do I put the Totin' Chip patch
- What age can I get the Totin' chip
- What does the Totin' chip allow me to use
- How to correctly use an axe
- Can you take corners off a Totin' chip?
- When can I use a pocketknife in boy scouts

This certification grants a Scout the right to carry and use woods tools. The Scout must show their Scout leader, or someone designated by their leader, that the Scout understands their responsibility to do the following:
1. Read and understand woods tools use and safety rules from the Scouts BSA handbooks.
2. Demonstrate proper handling, care, and use of the pocket knife, ax, and saw.
3. Use knife, ax, and saw as tools, not playthings.
4. Respect all safety rules to protect others.
5. Respect property. Cut living and dead trees only with permission and good reason.
6. Subscribe to the Outdoor Code.
The Scout's "Totin' Rights" can be taken away if they fail in their responsibility.
Yours in Scouting -Mac Guzman
