Knives: The Bloody Activity
This is the second in a two post series about what went wrong at Girl Scout camp this year. Here's the first harrowing story if you missed it.
Both my seven-year-old (Feisty Girl) and nine-year-old (Sweet Angel) participated in this year's Girl Scouts camping weekend. When I say participated, I mean that Feisty Girl's troop was too lame to stay overnight and Sweet Angel's troop almost lost her in the woods in the middle of the night. Moving on though because I vented about that in part one already.
Feisty Girl's troop did get to take part in the daytime activities though. This year's theme was The Last of the Mohicans. To be as authentic as possible, the camp director thought it would be good for the girls to learn about various aspects of Native American life. I was all for that until I read the schedule of activities and came across the one entitled KNIVES.

Let's fire that leader! Love, Mom
Yikes! I was a leader and a leader trainer, and this worries me no end. There are safe ways to carve, and even Brownies can learn them.
Wow, I can't believe that they would give knives to little kids and then not explain how to safely use them! I'm almost dreading part 3... ;)
The pictures really add:)
Knives? Like you said. Seriously? That's ridiculous.
That is crazy! My mother didn't let handle a knife. I think she cut my steak until I was thirteen!
What happened to tying knots?
Love DAD
