Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter October 18, 2022
As I've mentioned in the newsletter Russell Smart brought a great display to the Charlotte TOR - truly a museum quality display. I literally got to see the first adult Eagle medal ever presented (I think he was number 4) with what we sometimes call a drop ribbon. But if you missed it I recorded a video interview...Read More

Does this describe any of you? You started out collecting your home lodge/camp/council. For a long time you only cared about those topics so you started accumulating dupes on those items and were happy to have them because after all you collected them exclusively. Over time other people called you when they were ready to cash out and...Read More

Another Charlotte TOR in the books! The weather was great and we had a good event at the church. Some times an idea you pull out of your butt is a durn good one! So when we got the date from the church about 8 weeks ago I knew there would not be time to sell out all...Read More

It's TOR week and my head is spinning with everything that has to happen over the next two days. Last night I visited the Scout troop at my church that is running the concessions for the event.

October 25, 2011 was the day I published my first episode of Scouting Hot Finds Radio. My initial idea was to take the newsletter and turn it into a podcast. Things like talking about what the auctions of the week are and results. But after three episodes I kinda figured out the model and kept experimenting. The next...Read More

This week I published an interview that I think many of you would be curious to hear. Straight from the Jamboree Chairman I got the low down on visitors and patch trading for the upcoming 2023 Jamboree. We are living in a lucky time where the leadership recognizes that patch trading is a fun element of a national...Read More

I am still getting my sea legs underneath me as I figure out my strategy for the Live Show on Wednesday nights. What I see lots of content creators doing is having a standard show and then mixing in some completely different formats. So for example tomorrow I'll have my final part of the interview with Tico Perez...Read More
1950s Boy Scout Memorabilia Unboxing Virginia Eagle Scout Jamboree and Philmont
This old Boy Scout did it all back in the day. He grew up in Roanoke, VA where he obtained the rank of Eagle Scout while attending the 1957 National Scout Jamboree and hiking Philmont. I was lucky enough to make contact with him as he was looking for someone who would appreciate these valuable memories as he was downsizing....Read More

Of all the annoying supply chain issues affecting America for me the struggle has been paper.

I am happy to report that as of Friday PM I am back in stock on all products especially the 1P and...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....
