Cracker,

Did you know that Boy Scouts used to have boot knives too. Btw ducky I don’t know what you need to defend yourself from in a campsite.

I have a knife about four inches long would it be safe to bring this knife on a camping trip with me

Protection from what?

Most trips, even those into the back country, are with a group of scouts that are typically so noisy they’ll scare off anything that may hurt you. I do know that the Philmont Rangers who are often alone on the trail after training their crews carry wrist rockets and some carry larger sheath knifes.

I don’t see why sheath knives are frowned upon so much. They’re safer than folding knives because you don’t have to worry about them closing on your fingers.

The BSA does not say that you may not use and carry a sheath knife. But some camps do not allow them.

My Grandaddy tells me the Boy Scouts used to have lots of official sheath knives back in the 1950’s
