What are Totin’ Chip and the Firem’n Chit?
Your son must earn the Totin’ Chip before he can carry a pocketknife or use a bow saw at any Boy Scout activity. The Firem’n Chit must be earned to start a fire or use any stove or lantern. Both of these are earned by attending classes presented by the Troop several times per year. Typically, both classes are offered at the new Scout crossover weekend.
