They worked with Ivory soap, a very easy to shave item. They learned to "curl" the soap without stabbing or cutting it. They started with a "design" on paper (after going over the rules of handling a knife). Then we moved outside to first show me how safely they can use the knife before I let them alone.
Since my daughter and my assistant leader's daughter were also there, I let them try using pocket knives as well. The girls did very well. I didn't work toward letting the boys get their Whittling Cards this time. I figure another year of "seasoning" and they'll be ready. For those of you non-cubbies, a Whittling Card allows a Bear/Webelo level Cub Scout to carry a pocket knife at a BSA event.
