I spotted this on eBay and I thought I would post it here because I never heard of a lodge issuing a flap for paying your lodge dues.

I got this from a friend of mine and thought it would be a good topic for a post in the Patchblanket forum so others could respond. He has listed an honor society patch for the Sea Scouts. It got me to thinking - are there other quasi-official honor organizations for Venture Scouts? I know that Venture Crews are...Read More
Camp Raven Knob may be arguably the most highly collected Scout camp in the United States. I swear whenever I see something from that Old Hickory Council, North Carolina camp pop up on eBay it gets lots of bids and goes for big bucks. I don't even mean really old stuff - things from the 80s will even bring good...Read More

However, its not often that I take a minute in the blog to go back and ask what were the best ones that sold on eBay? So these five picks are among the best that sold recently...Read More
When I saw this on eBay I thought this had to be a spoof. Its just basically two of the old OA logos blended together on a flap shaped jacket patch. Heck I think I've seen both of these logos on numerous spoofs through the years. Then how is it that this auction is up to $150+ with 38 bids....Read More

I don't usually have the pleasure of inserting my own auctions into a Top 5 but this time I can take a little credit. Now my foxes didn't beat the clam or the thunderbird but at least I had a pair and that hand sometimes wins. The Daw-zu flap is a big sale so be sure to see what that...Read More
