KenK; Greatings Sir; As a product of the program, I must emplore you to not go with the flow. Wilderness skills, of which axemanship is but a part, can be a life saving skill set. In addition, these are dieing arts and must be preserved. I do not believe the "urbanization" of Scouting to be a good thing and on a personal basis will do all I can to preserve and teach the "old ways". Jim
