It’s not very often that I talk to a picker when it comes to discovering lost Boy Scout collections. In this case the guy was helping clear out a storage unit and they came across a bunch of patches. We connected via text and then hopped on a phone call to discuss the items. When he sent me the pictures I was scratching my head. Somehow in a collection of a guy that may have done his Scouting in NJ there were vintage stickers from my alma mater – the University of South Carolina. Divine providence? LOL My buddies will laugh when they see my reaction to pulling out these vintage Gamecock items. But there are other surprises in the box including some neat Navy items that I hope you will enjoy.
If you come across some Boy Scout stuff like this I hope you will reach out. I’ve been collecting my whole life and I’d love to hear what you have. I can help get it back into the hands of a Scouter.
