Along with a box of matches and a piece of string, they've always been an essential part of a Scout's kit.But now penknives are going to be restricted on scouting trips as a seemingly innocent tradition succumbs to concerns over the nation's blade culture.
The Scout Association is advising boys and their parents that they should not bring such knives to camp - despite it being legal for anyone to carry a foldable, nonlocking blade in a public place as long as it is shorter than 3ins.
Scouts have been taught to carry knives and have used them to cut firewood, prepare food or carve tools ever since Lord Baden-Powell founded the movement more than a century ago.
But in a recent edition of their official in-house magazine, Scouting, they are advised that neither they nor their parents should bring penknives to camp.
Ye Gods, at times I really hate the petty fucking rules that have overtaken this land. Feral scrotes the children of the New Labour welfare state wander the streets doing as they will tooled up for a fight, whilst the only people affected by the ever expanding rule book are the law abiding citizens.
