Crafts
Raven Knob, 1999

Are you sure that's a basket? In the basketry merit badge scouts learn the basic principles of weaving. Woodcarving was one of our boys' most popular crafts. Bandaids are required in this course.

Leatherworking was also a popular craft with Troop 412. This craft had not been offered at recent summer camps, so many boys took advantage of this opportunity. Some returned to the craft center in the evenings to work on additional projects. Leatherworking involves cutting, pounding, and stitching. If you wonder about the granite blocks, then you should hear the pounding when it's done directly on the table! Why is that basket in woodcarving?
Better watch what you're doing. This time I'm not going to hit that little finger. Mesmerized
