Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter December 20, 2016
Someone sent me a message earlier today asking if I was going to start collecting camp patches from the council that I have just moved into it. The thing about starting a new collection is there are so many old collections that have lots of wholes including all of these combination ranks ending soon that I don’t have!
One of the most agonizing parts of being on “patch lock-down” is that I just got in 5 priority mail boxes of which I have little idea what is in them. An older Scouter sent me these on preview and I can’t open them and get started on that until after the family leaves. I feel like a kid with presents under the tree that I can’t open til my mother tells me it’s ok.
I’m considering consolidating my antique mall booths to a new location in Charlotte in early 2017. Ideally before the Charlotte TOR at the end of March I’d like to have everything up here. Right now having 2 booths that are 2+ hours drive away from me doesn’t sound too smart.
While I’m not starting new auctions during the holidays I do have some auctions that are finishing over the next few days on eBay. Many of these are neckerchiefs and a nice group of a 2-dozen listings from Occoneechee Council.

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
