Boys and Knives
Ellie, Scouts in Utah don't have time to train in the proper use of knives. They are too busy looking for their troopmates lost in the wilderness, destroying archeological artifacts and scaring the wildlife.
Get the lad a Swiss Army knife with lots of tools inside. He (and his brother, no doubt) can practice opening and closing it for hours. After that they can graduate to mumblpegs. This will improve hand/eye coordination...eventually. It's as good as video games which also purportedly improve hand/eye coordination.
When you come visit this summer the kids can practice skinning the local swuirrels they nail with the slingshots we have for them.
Come on! Let's have some fun!
