I was on U-tube tonight and found this really awesome video. In it the two prospective Eagle Scouts are being interviewed by a newscaster about their cancer awareness project.
Awards Manufacturer Produces Prestigious Eagle Scout Medals
When David Bouchein won his Eagle Scout medal in the 1970s he had no idea of the prominence that award would play later in his life. "Who would have thought I'd be running the company that made my Eagle medal?" said Bouchein, president of Stange Company. "My grandpa, Elmer Wagenfuehr, got his own Eagle Scout award in...Read More

The Death Knell for eBay Blogs!
I read this week on the announcement boards that eBay is pulling the plug on one facet of its attempt at social networking - eBay Blogs.

The One That Got Away…
Let me share with you my story that will probably ring a bell with many Boy Scout collectors.

Yosemite? Yellowstone? Whatever!
The Sept/Oct 2009 issue of Scouting Magazine features the 1960 Yosemite Area JSP (provided by Kelly Williams) but states, "You might recognize its most-prominent element?if you happened to visit Yellowstone Park prior to 1969: The Wawona Tree." Uh, fellas, that would be Yosemite National Park. The online version has been corrected. LOL
Did You Miss the PatchBlanket?
After the PatchBlanket got hacked, it took several weeks to get back online. I checked daily to see if it was up, then went on to my other favorite (non-patch trading) forums. It seemed like Jason's 2009 NOAC blog took the place of the forum in terms of patch news and commentary, but of course there's no discussion aspect....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....
