4. At what rank can a Cub Scout normally use a knife?

Answer: Bear

When a Cub Scout knows enough to handle a knife he gets a special card called a Whittling Chip that shows he can use a knife safely. Although there is no requirement for age or rank for a Cub Scout to earn his Whittling Chip, it is not presented until the Bear book so most do not earn it until then.

Take out the "We", "be", "lo", and "s" from each word in the phrase to form the word "Webelos."
