Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter October 27, 2023
I am getting the Hot Finds out late in the day because I have an extreme case of catching up today – my first and last day in the office this week. I am just about caught up on emails and other distractions and hope that next week will be productive.
Today I made a deal to add a very cool piece to my collection. I was offered a Hornaday Medal from the early 1970s from the guy that earned it. We talked on the phone about his project and his surprise that he was nominated for it in the first place. His project took about 1 1/2 years to complete and he was doing it for the good turn not to earn a recognition. One of his Scout leaders put him in for the award and he was surprised with the presentation. I don’t have anything Hornaday in my collection so that’s a keeper.
On eBay this week I have 202 live auctions with everything from RWS, CSPs, and even college usher patches up for bids.

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....
