Totin' Chit sylabus

[Chippewa29]

I've just realized that we have no one currently active in my troop that knows how to properly teach the Totin' Chit. We had an ASM that left last spring that had been the main one teaching it for almost a decade. I just had someone ask me about it and realized I've never taught it (although I've taught how to sharpen, etc.) Does anyone have a sylabus that describes what needs to be taught for that?

Well, http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/8839/speaward.htm has a great list of requirements for all the "specials" (Totin' Chit, Fireman Chit, etc.). http://www.melrosetroop68.org/tests.html actually gives a "test" for the Chit. And http://www.scoutingaround.com/boy_scouts/totinchip/index.html is a great outline for actually teaching the chit. Hope these help!

Everything you need for the Totin' Chip is explained and illustrated in The Boy Scout Handbook pages 77-85.

Thanks, these are exactly what I was looking for.

According to the on site mschwartz posted the Troop requires their Scouts to earn these every year. While I understand refreshed courses on wood tools & fire building are necessary, I thought these chits were good indefinitly?
