More on "courageous young explorers"

We were reading in the Book of Mormon about how the 2,000 stripling young warriors were very courageous. They had never fought before, and they were young, and they were fighting the most powerful Lamanite army, but they were not afraid because they thought more on the liberty of their people than their own lives, and their mothers taught them that if they had faith in God, He would be with them. The Lamanites were defeated and not a single one of the 2,000 stripling young warriors were killed. We talked about the "sword of faith" and gave them their next explorer tool: a pocket knife (aka "sword" of faith). We gave them the one with the tool linked below:

They are very excited about the pocket knives. We made rules about them to keep them from hurting themselves. We are planning a camping trip maybe this weekend to show them how to use the tools on their pocket knives and they can practice being "courageous young explorers".
