Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter October 11, 2022

    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. I was able to give them some seed money for their operation from the table rental fees we have collected. The...Read More

    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

    Of all the annoying supply chain issues affecting America for me the struggle has been paper. I literally have had a very hard time sourcing the card stock paper that is used to make Best Hobby Pages. I am happy to report that as of Friday PM I am back in stock on all products especially the 1P and...Read More

The first is his complete Dixie Fellowship collection which he put together for when his lodge was set to host the 2020 event (cancelled due to COVID). The second is...Read More

    Almost two years ago I created a Patreon community called the Scouting Hot Finds Insiders. During those 21 months I have published over 50 videos to the group with exclusive behind the scenes access to what I've got cooking in the patch warehouse. Some of these videos have included unboxings and some have been revealing projects that I've been...Read More

    This week I pulled off a trial by fire first episode of Scouting Hot Finds Live. Tico Perez was my guest and he talked about why Scouts and Scouters should make plans to attend the 2023 National Scout Jamboree. I learned several new things during the show including an incredible opportunity for younger adults to serve on staff at...Read More

Well I am at it again trying something new. Thanks to inspiration from my long time friend Paul Gowder (www.PowWows.com) I am going to try doing a weekly 30 minute live show. The idea is to take all of the varied content projects that I've started over the last few years and put them into one packed show. Things like...Read More

    Tonight I am making an almost 2.5 hour drive to southeastern North Carolina to donate some items to the Cape Fear Council Historical Association. I have been in touch with Bob Walton and Jonathan Widmark regarding Sea Scout memorabilia that I dug out of Lumberton when I lived there over 15 years ago. Previously I've donated some items...Read More

    Steven Spielberg might be a bit of a controversial figure in the minds of many long time Scouters. Those of us who were youth in the 1980s were awed by him at the 1989 National Scout Jamboree when he unveiled the Cinematography merit badge. The falling out happened in later years when he kinda renounced the organization during...Read More

  If I've learned one thing from hosting a TOR - you had better NOT make it a well kept secret. As the organizer the responsibility you have is to get people in the door. At my TOR we have free admission so it's not about the door draw. It's about the energy in the room Last night at 4 different Round...Read More
