Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter November 28, 2017
I have really been focused on hiring the staff so I'm going to share the link for applications here in case someone you know might be interested in coming to work for me. We are actively looking for several positions and of course have to fill the ranks of the Jr. Staff with instructors. There are not many TORs in...Read More
Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter November 26, 2017
The irony in attending the pop up market is that I sold almost as much stuff online by posting pictures of my table on Facebook. I made several deals during the event and had to pull items from the display. My wife would probably tell me I should have just stayed home and helped entertain her mother as we were...Read More
Scouting Hot Finds Radio #81: Scott Wheeler 2017 Jamboree Checklist
Scott Wheeler is a Boy Scout memorabilia collector who has a collection with over 100,000 unique items. The only way he can keep track of all these items is by creating checklists. That has led him to create the best 2017 National Jamboree checklist of council issued items. By Scott's estimation there are around 2000 items issued for this...Read More

One of the reasons for the trip was to take Best Hobby Pages on the road to a TOR where it has never been before. I had the complete inventory and had several collectors take home plastic. I was also able to sell almost 50 riker cases that I brought to move so the patch bus was just a little...Read More

At this TOR I am really focusing my sales on 3D items and dollar tubs. I have some decent OA pieces with me but much of what I brought was items from the recent Midwest collection I purchased that I hope will be going home. I'll include pictures in this Sunday's issue. Except for NOACs I've never attended a TOR...Read More

Loyal readers will note that Sunday I missed publishing an issue of the newsletter. That is very rare indeed however in this case I was taking my mother back to SC and was gone most of the day. Family comes first! This week I should be on target even with leaving early for the St. Louis TOR. I'll be riding...Read More

This is what your sorting table can look like when you are doing the "rough sort" of boxes of Boy Scout stuff. This is some new stuff I'm selling for a collector and it came in boxes. My job yesterday was to sort out the OA, camp patches, shoulder strips etc into different containers. From there I can alphabetize things...Read More

I took my den over the Boy Scout meeting last night to check out their Cast Iron Chef competition. It's essentially a patrol cooking contest that includes themed menus and secret ingredients. It was held under the shelter at the Scout hut. I saw Scottish shepard's pie being made alongside Greek kabobs and Mexican cornbread. Sadly we had to leave...Read More

I had two dealers reach out to me yesterday on Facebook asking what's my secret. Since I tend to share a lot with the Hot Finds audience I'll spill the beans. My store at ScoutPatchHQ.com is built on the Shopify platform. This week Shopify announced an integration with eBay so that I can cross list all my products and have...Read More

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....
