as had been said before- BSA allows folding knives in general, lockback included. However, each scoutmaster would have his perogitive to make his rules for his troop. The only time the official BSA rules would come in would be if they were more restrictive and it was an official BSA sanctioned function such as a camporee or the such. Scouts will use axes, machetes, etc to build, cut wood. In general, power chainsaws are frowned upon unless an adult uses it. In my experience, it was left chiefly up to the Scoutmaster to make those calls.
