Scout Patch Collectors

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter February 28, 2017

Today is going to be one of those days. I spent the night in Lumberton and am headed to the antique mall there in about an hour to empty out that booth. I am also meeting with the lady who was my bookkeeper to get all my paperwork and records from her. Then I’ll drive the 20′ truck west to Charlotte and start setting up the new booth.

Back in January I mentioned going to a Girl Scout Service Unit Meeting (think Roundtable) and talking up the Girl Scout Jamboree this summer to see if any of the Charlotte folks would want to put together a contingent. Excited to say that I got an email from a troop leader yesterday indicating that she is going along with some of her cadettes and can we join forces. Okay time to make a GS Jamboree contingent patch! LOL

Has anyone ever rented a cargo van from one of the national chains? I’ve got to fly into an airport sometime this spring and rent a cargo van (bigger than a mini van) to pick up a collection. The website I usually go through only shows mini-vans so I figured surely one of the readers has done this and can point me in the right direction.

Do you collect vintage District or Council (CP) patches? I’ve got a bunch of those ending on eBay including some Trail hikes and other oldies. These were items I’ve been sitting on like a hen and it was time to get them moved on to new homes. A few are kinda neat like the Black Eagle Lodge chapter patch listed below which I don’t think had a sale on OAimages.
