Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter June 6, 2025
As I am finishing packing the van to head to the camp staff reunion this weekend I want to share another episode of the podcast. In my packing I found historical paper and pictures that I have not taken off the shelf since moving into this warehouse almost 5 years ago. Which means nobody in the outside world has seen them either! So with some inspiration from Ryan Losonsky I will try and do something about that going forward.
I don’t buy many collections from people who consider themselves local historians. But there is a little piece of that in all of us that collect in this hobby. In going through things I found pictures from the early 1930s at my camp that I got copies of in 1998 which I’ve likely never showed anyone. What a tragedy! Almost 30 years of being the custodian of these pieces and I have been as guilty as others I find fault with for hoarding and not sharing.
On eBay I have 199 live auctions running with many good pieces getting bids. Some of this stuff comes from an awesome GA OA collection I picked up earlier in the year.

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....
