This collection came to me from a lady whose family runs a storage unit business. The story is that someone passed away and in the process of cleaning out the storage unit they came across a ton of Boy Scout stuff. I had already bought some stuff from her and this was round 2. This guy was an Eagle Scout from the 1980s who was active at least through the OA centennial in 2015. As I pieced together his Scouting history it looks like he went to the 1985 Jamboree and to Philmont in 1988.
I love getting the chance to recycle these Scouting memorabilia collections back into the movement. After filming this video I sorted out all the bags of patches. The cracked Eagle Scout stained glass piece actually hangs in my office now. I never got one as a kid when I got my Eagle in 1989 so I look at it every day.
