I have a bit of a situation with sheath knives and boy scout regulations.
One of the B.S.A. rules is "THOU SHALT NOT HAVE SHEATH KNIVES" and that realy sucks.
So here is my situation: I am a 15 year old militant, who on boy scout campouts wants to exersize my contitutinal right to keep and bear sheath knives.
But the problem is athority. Acording to bsa rules sheath knives are a no no.
But thats not what I have a problem with... its my dad.
he wont let me. When I tried to reason with him he said that we were going to respect the bsa rules. then I pointed out that we break the bsa rules alot. so I dug deaper then he said it was about geting soued He says that if some one gets heart or killed and we are braking the bsa rules we can get soued and such and such.
He gets realy mad when I bring this up.
The B.S.A's modo is always be prepared.
Or it could be always be a hipacrite.
How can are modo be always be prepared if we are not alowed to bring the tools we need to be fully prepared.
What can I do?
P.S. I have not asked the scout master if I can take sheath knives.
