Media blows things out of proportion, as usual
It turns out there isn’t a huge ban on knives in scouting, the newspapers are just being stupid.
The uk chief comissioner, Wayne Bulpitt, has blogged and the UK scouts website has published a story about the “incorrect” articles. Which states: “In fact, Scouting’s rules on the subject have not significantly changed since the late 1960s.”
Looks like scouts can still enjoy their whittling
