My son is signed up to do woodcarving at summer camp will he earn his totem chip at the same time or will he need to get that before he takes woodcarving?

@Tanya - He should ask his patrol leader, SPL, or scoutmaster about specifics for his particular camp experience.  I expect he'd earn the Totin' Chip as part of the woodcarving merit badge since it's a requirement, but his camp may state it as a prereq.
