Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter January 6, 2023
This week I got back in the rhythm of publishing a weekly episode of Scouting Hot Finds Live. This week it was an unboxing of a small collection from a Scout who attended the 1929 World Jamboree. This guy grew up in the Norwela Council of Louisiana and was one of four boys from the council to attend that event.
As you will see in the video it appears that the merit badge patches are all squares that have been folded under. I don’t have any plans to strip the sash but I think it does make it a much more valuable piece and with 42 merit badges on there some are winners.
On eBay this week I have 157 live auctions running. The majority of these continue to be 1950s-60s event patches. But I also shake it up with some Jamboree and Philmont pieces.

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....
