It is our troop's goal that any interested AHGer learn how to safely use a pocket knife with her parent's permission. We have established the following mandatory policy for safe pocket knife use. AHGers in Troop NC0512 may carry and use pocket knives ONLY when they obey the following rules: Only AHGers that have earned a Sharp Girl Card may carry and use a pocket knife. Knives may only be carried on outdoor camping trips, hikes or other approved activities ONLY when permitted by the Troop Coordinator or other Leader. The Sharp Girl Card MUST is carried by the AHGer at all times when she is carrying or using her pocket knife. AHGers may use their pocket knife only when the Unit Leader or a designated Leader is directly supervising the AHGer's activities. The supervising adult MUST NOT be involved in any other activities while supervising AHGers’ use of knives. AHGERS MUST NEVER CARRY THEIR POCKET KNIVES TO SCHOOL OR AHG ACTIVITIES AT SCHOOL. Under no conditions are switchblade knives or sheath knives permitted.

  • Pocket Knife Safety and Etiquette Here Are Some General Safety Guidelines to Follow Whenever Using a Pocket Knife
    GSME Pocket Knife Safety Introduction Pocket knives are a useful tool when camping and being in the outdoors. Learning knife safety and usage is an important skill to help instill confidence in the girls and help them take ownership in tasks that require the use of knives as well as ensure proper technique and safety for all involved. Girls must not use sharp tools until they have been instructed in the safe use of the tool by a trained/knowledgeable adult. Never assume girls know good safety practices even if they use a knife at home. Establish expected safety rules, and expect each girl to follow them at all times. Allow the girls to practice their skills in a developmentally appropriate manner (starting with a paper knife and moving up to a pocket knife once a girl has individually demonstrated the skills with pocket knife progression), and set aside our adult fears. The only way for girls to master their knife skills and become confident in their abilities is to practice with a real knife. There are 4 levels to earning a knife safety certificate and the privilege to carry a pocket knife to Girl Scout functions. Please take the time to work through each step, ensuring the girls have mastered the skill before moving on. In order to receive her certificate, each girl must demonstrate her knowledge and skills. A general progression guideline is: Level 1 is for Daisies and up, Level 2 is for Brownies and up, and Level 3 and 4 are for Juniors and up. After earning her Pocket Knife Safety Certification, a girl must keep her certification card with her at all times when using a pocketknife at Girl Scout functions.

By: This article is available online at: http://bit.ly/knifeguide I. Introduction California has a variety of criminal laws designed to restrict the possession of knives. This guide has two goals: • Explain the current California knife laws using plain language. • Help individuals identify whether a knife is or is not “illegal.” This information is presented as a brief synopsis of the law and not as legal advice. Use of the guide does not create a lawyer/client relationship. Laws are interpreted differently by enforcement officers, prosecuting attorneys, and judges.

  • State V. Harris, No
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS No. 116,515 STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. CHRISTOPHER M. HARRIS, Appellant. SYLLABUS BY THE COURT The residual clause "or any other dangerous or deadly cutting instrument of like character" in K.S.A. 2019 Supp. 21-6304 is unconstitutionally vague because it fails to provide an explicit and objective standard of enforcement. Review of the judgment of the Court of Appeals in an unpublished opinion filed January 19, 2018. Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; JOHN J. KISNER, JR., judge. Opinion filed July 17, 2020. Judgment of the Court of Appeals affirming in part and reversing in part the district court is reversed. Judgment of the district court is reversed, and the case is remanded with directions. Kasper C. Schirer, of Kansas Appellate Defender Office, argued the cause, and Kimberly Streit Vogelsberg and Clayton J. Perkins, of the same office, were on the briefs for appellant. Matt J. Maloney, assistant district attorney, argued the cause, and Marc Bennett, district attorney, and Derek Schmidt, attorney general, were with him on the briefs for appellee. The opinion of the court was delivered by STEGALL, J.: In Kansas, it is a crime for a convicted felon to possess a knife. At first blush, the statute appears straightforward. But the statute defines a knife as "a 1 dagger, dirk, switchblade, stiletto, straight-edged razor or any other dangerous or deadly cutting instrument of like character." K.S.A. 2019 Supp. 21-6304. And figuring out when an object is a "knife" because it is a "dangerous or deadly cutting instrument of like character" is not as easy as one might suppose.

  • Pocketknife Safety – What Cub Scouts Need to Know
    Resources – Pocketknives Pocketknife Safety – What Cub Scouts Need to Know https://cubscoutideas.com/4053/cub-scout-whittling-chip-requirements-pocketknife-safety/ Pocketknife safety is important for Cub Scouts to learn. A requirement for the Cub Scout Whittling Chip, it’s also just good information for them to know. Pocketknife safety is one of the life skills our boys learn in Cub Scouts. Life lessons is one of the things I love about Cub Scouts! Our boys may seem a little young to be learning about knives, but according to BSA’s Age-Appropriate Guidelines, Bears, Webelos and Arrow of Light scouts can use a pocketknife. In the Cub Scout Adventure program, the Bear and Arrow of Light ranks require knowledge of pocketknife safety. Bear Adventure: Bear Claws 2: Learn knife safety and earn your Whittling Chip. Arrow of Light Adventure: Scouting Adventure 6: Demonstrate your knowledge of the pocketknife safety rules and the pocketknife pledge. Earn your Whittling Chip card if you have not already done so. Below you’ll find the pocketknife safety information that the boys need to know to earn their Whittling Chip. General Pocketknife Safety Information: A knife is a tool, not a toy. Never use your knife on something that will dull or break it (rocks, metal, cement, etc.) Never use your knife to cut living trees or plants, or poke it in the dirt. Moisture and dirt will ruin your knife. Keep your knife out of the fire. The heat will ruin the temper of the steel making the knife edge soft and useless.
