TEACH THEM!!! Many souts do not have the oportunity to learn "esoteric" skills. A scout in my troop recently said he judged some kids he knows on what they know outside the normal knowledge that is taught is school. He found that that many of them had no skills outside of the home and video. He felt sorry for them. Teach not only how to use the tools but how to keep them maintained and sharp. Safer that way.
