Unboxing Granddad’s Old Boy Scout Collection From Baltimore Maryland
When I first got the email about this collection my interest spiked because one of my favorite patches was in the pictures. Turns out I was buying the collection of a Scouter who must have done a good bit of swapping in the 1970s based in the Baltimore Area Council of Maryland. It looks like the Scouter attended the 1977 National Scout Jamboree based on some other stuff in the box. He accumulated a nice stack of Order of the Arrow flaps. Curiously for many of the flaps he had 2 of the same issue. When I spoke later to his son about this he kinda said “huh” and really had no idea why his dad would have done that.
If you want to see my “After the Unboxing” video on this collection please consider joining my Patreon group the Scouting Hot Finds Insiders. In that video I get back on camera after researching what some of the best pieces in the collection are. You might appreciate the extended commentary if you are really a thread head like me!

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....
