Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter December 18, 2015
Here is an update on my OA labeling project. I want to thank Dave Scocca for being my sounding board and giving me tips on how to organize historical information on the label. I reached out to Rob Higgins who has the excellent site on OA sections for help of figuring out the old twelve regions and how to group everything.
It looks like I’ve gotten my kitchen pass to attend the Easley, SC TOR next month but that might mean sacrificing the chance to attend my lodge winter banquet which is the same weekend. I haven’t missed one in years but this might be the year.
I found out that a Girl Scout council in WV is running a special week of camp at the Summit this summer. Now what a brilliant move! The GSA doesn’t have a high adventure camp (anywhere) and the BSA has one that is looking for more summer campers. I for one might be signing my troop up for the chance to take part.
As my wife and I are beginning to think about moving next summer I have started to window shop for a new house. One key word I’ve put in the search box is “basement” thinking that maybe I can turn that into my office space/scout cave. If anybody has pictures of their “scout cave” to share send me pics!

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....
