Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter November 13, 2015
There was some discussion on Facebook regarding the red arrow patch in the lot below. I believe the consensus was that it’s a military unit patch. Of course those get mixed in quite a bit with old Boy Scout collections.
As I was toasted on my Boy Scout bid this week I’m happy to report there wasn’t as much competition in the Girl Scout world. I won my very first GSA item on eBay this week – scoring a uniform with over 30 pre-WWII badges on it for less than $100. Maybe I shouldn’t be talking about all that and stirring up the competition?
Just to prove to a few of the readers that I don’t hide the good auctions I’ll tell you that the merit badge sash below is one I’m going to bid on. I doubt that my high bid will take it home but it’s a nice sash and I am picking up Eagle medals when I come across them.
So how about this for ingenuity. One of the readers has a wife who is a Realtor in the Charlotte area. After announcing in the Hot Finds my resettlement plans I got a nice card from her yesterday offering to help my family relocate. Talk about the Boy Scout hook up! 🙂

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....
