Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 5, 2024
Well the year long wait to reset the calendar was worth it. Coming out of COVID we held the CLT TOR in the fall both in 2021 and 2022. But seeing that a spring date seemed better for everyone I skipped all of 2023. It has been 16 months since we held the show which was a bit of a gamble to keep it together.
The show ended up with 30 vendors traveling from 7 states to attend. We had people from as far away as Michigan who stopped by. We also had people who were passing through on their way to the beach on vacation visit. But I was most excited to see so many youth in the room. That’s the future of our hobby.
I don’t know how all the table renters did but as always there was a lot of money flowing around in the room. One dealer sold over $10k worth of high end OA (maybe a LOT more he didn’t say but I heard anecdotally). For my part I moved tons of collecting supplies and came back with a lot more shelf space at the warehouse. We even had tables with teenagers trading patches – at a TOR! I know right!!

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....
