Boy Scout Collection Unboxing Grandfather and Grandson Eagle Scouts

This unboxing represents quite a legacy. It was very difficult for the lady I dealt with to part with these items from her loved ones. Her dad was an Eagle Scout in the early 1930s. He was an influence on her son who also became an Eagle Scout. But after her son passed away she knew that there was no...Read More

Unboxed this Boy Scout Collection and then Figured Out I forgot the 2nd box!

Well sometimes I just have to tell on myself! In this unboxing I got a collection that included some really neat items. At the time I was trying to batch tape several videos and because the boxes weren't marked clearly (or because I wasn't paying attention) I filmed an entire unboxing video before I found the 2nd box. And these...Read More

Boy Scout Hand Axe Project Transforms Some Beaters

For the 2nd time on my channel I have a video sharing an unboxing featuring Boy Scout hand axes. Once again Bill Chadek has worked his magic on some beaters and given me back some axes that are now suitable gifts. This is remarkable when (as you see in this video) how these were really beaters when they got to...Read More

Fantastic 1950s National OA Collection Boy Scout Unboxing

My favorite part of this story is that in the first few minutes of talking to the phone with the Scouter who I bought this from he told me his wife's opinion....throw it away! You will see as I get into the unboxing what the issue is with the memorabilia that led her to say that. But I am soooo...Read More

I always enjoy unboxing collections that are multi-generational. In this case I got the collection from the son and he was also shared items from his father.

I Recycle Boy Scout Collections Large and Small!

I wanted show everyone two fun Boy Scout collections that came into the warehouse recently. But mostly to prove a point that sometimes the collections I purchase are very personal and small. Sure, I have been known to fly out and rent a Uhual truck to bring back a heavy load. But the bread and butter of what I get...Read More

Twin Boy Scout Unboxings Including 1975 World Scout Jamboree and Air Explorer Collections

Sometimes I get Boy Scout collections mailed to me on preview.

In this video I have two boxes that came this which both needed to be opened and evaluated. These collections were...Read More

Helping To Find Her Uncle’s Scout Collection A New Home

I was contacted by the niece of a former Scouter regarding his Scouting memorabilia collection.

We texted pictures back and forth and made a deal so that...Read More

Fantastic Texas OA Patch Trader Collection From the Late 1960s – Early 1970s

I can really relate to the Scouter who put this collection together more than 50 years ago. I too went to a National Jamboree and caught the patch bug. But he went to the 1969 Jambo a full twenty years before I went to my first event. Coming from TX his stuff was really desirable and he did a good...Read More

It's not very often that I talk to a picker when it comes to discovering lost Boy Scout collections. In this case the guy was helping clear out a storage unit and they came across a bunch of patches. We connected via text and then hopped on a phone call to discuss the items. When he sent me the pictures...Read More

This collection was cool for me because it was from out west and had many patches that I have never seen in person including lots of Order of the Arrow flaps from Nevada and California where this Scouter grew up and spent time as an adult. I actually got to meet him in person as he was traveling to Charlotte...Read More

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter October 22, 2024

In case any of you are not aware of a wonderful series that overlaps our hobby I want to point it out. When I attended NCS at Philmont last year I had the pleasure of meeting Harold White in person.
