1. q: What is a Totin' Chip?
   
   a: A Totin' Chip is a laminated card that says you have gone to the knife training.  Scouts and adults alike must carry a Totin' Chip to carry and use a knife at a scouting function.  If you are found to be using a knife (axe, saw, or whatever) improperly a corner gets cut off of the card.  Lose all four corners and it's back to training for you.  See reference page "Totin' Chip".
   
2. q: I'm not a registered adult member of Troop 494 but my Son is.  Can I go on Scout campouts?
   
   a: Absolutely!  Parents, male or female, are welcome.  Last year at Tomahawk we had 22 adults staying in camp and we loved it!.  Be forwarded, the snoring section is furthest from the campfire.
