My other motivation is I landed my second large collection in the last three months that has 1000+ OA flaps so I have a lot of work to do scanning listing and selling these items to recoup money. My daughter is going to the WSJ and this will be her Scouting memory. CLICK HERE TO OPEN THE JULY 21, 2019...Read More

I was told by somebody this week that World Jamboree has the no adult/youth trading deal.  I guess I thought that was urban legend buy maybe not?  If you know for sure ping me back since I have not purchased my day tickets yet.

One of my camp staff members has floated the idea of doing some patch work for me since he doesn't live too far from Charlotte.  I can always use some help on small projects organizing and scanning so after the dust settles from camp and WSJ we will see.

I talked to Chris Jensen yesterday and learned he has pulled the trigger on renting a storefront in the Beckley shopping mall near the site of the 2019 WSJ.  It's not a TOR but he will have an incredible set up.  See the details in his email that went out today.

Wednesday I head home for the first extended time in 3 weeks.  I should be able to get to the warehouse and get some work done but it won't be long.  After that it will be another 2 weeks solid at camp.  But all together the news is great from camp.  We have happy Scouts and Scoutmasters and are attracting...Read More

My son Patrick is also in camp with us this week.  Yesterday he carved a fox totem with his pocket knife, went swimming with his sister during free swim and out on a paddle board with dad after supper.  I'd say that's a good day in camp!

Today I am going to try my hand at making a Low Country boil for the Scoutmasters.  This is a classic that features corn, potatoes, onions, and shrimp. It's all cooked together and poured out on a table for a finger looking good feast. I hope your summer is going great too. CLICK HERE TO OPEN THE JUNE 18, 2019...Read More

I got notification while I'm on vacation that 4 boxes showed up on my doorstep yesterday.  These are from a collection that I have not laid eyes on.  One of the boxes weighs 30 pounds and it cost about $180 to have it all shipped UPS. Can anybody say unboxing!? I've got a few other collection pans in the fire. ...Read More

After coming home from vacation a few hours later we still made it to my daughter's troop meeting.  Our special visitor for the night is a lady who works for BSA National Supply.  She really wants to visit our girl troop and get ideas about products, uniforms and other merchandise. Some of the girls were very anxious to share with...Read More

As I go to publish this issue news has come out to confirm that indeed ISCA is taking ownership of one our most beloved websites in the hobby - OAimages.com.  God I hope they don't screw it up! Let's just say that ISCA has not had the Midas touch the last decade.  From taking on websites that then no longer...Read More

I guess I've known for some time that Chris would use contacts to help him grow his store.  It wasn't just the people sitting in his warehouse that did all the magic.  Maybe it was one trusted person who could identify and roughly price OA. Maybe another person would take eBay consignments and get some collections up for sale at...Read More

Have you ever been to a funeral where after the invocation the first speaker had all the former Scouts in the audience stand up and recite the Scout Oath?  It was a somber and moving experience to take part in.  In a packed church about 3-dozen men rose, gave the Scout sign and recited our Oath.  His parents and the...Read More

My daughter's troop was honored to perform the flag ceremony to start the event.  The council had someone there taking drone footage of the crowd which I hope to see soon in a video.  They called this the 1st annual so hopefully next year I can get my son's Cub Scout pack to take part as well. So in typical...Read More
