Scout Patch Collectors

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 19, 2020

As a family the prospect of basically erasing all of our summer plans was depressing. But we’ve rallied the troops and are still trying to piece some things together. Sophia got invited to join another unit on their trip to Sea Base this summer. There is also the possibility of her getting trained and hired to be a pool lifeguard in Charlotte.

My son Patrick had his favorite camp cancelled last week as well. Last summer he went to Camp Celo in western NC. This camp is themed as a farm home camp where the kids actually do some of the work. Strange he won’t take the compost out at our house but would work the farm there?!

There is not much consolation in all of this but I’m lucky that I can fall back on going to work every day and just keep building my online stores and rehoming Scout collections. I’ve got a full board of projects broken down by category. As of this morning I’ve got about 45 bin boxes of patches scanned and somewhat ready to get listed. So I’ll just keep making progress on all that.

The auctions keep rolling in my stores. You can see 193 live auctions on 5dollarpatchstore. There are 74 live auctions on OA patch and another 246 on patchsniper including OA and SAPs.

I saw that the OA has put out an email with all the memorabilia for the 2020 NOAC. I guess they already made it and are trying to sell it at full price? The other possibility is they want to take preorders only and still make the stuff but that doesn’t make much sense.
