Time to Protect Your Patches!

  One of the interesting things at the Pre-NOAC TOR was finding three different vendors rolling out new patch plastic products. As I went around the room and talked to each of them I offered to give them equal time on the blog. Since I was kind of a roving patch reporter I even offered to shoot quick commercials and...Read More

What do you call it when a Lodge “Spoofs” a Spoof?

In doing so I stumbled across two examples of lodges spoofing (verb) spoof patches (noun). Huh? Ok the first example goes back to 2006 and I was unaware of it until tonight.   Check out this...Read More

Colorado Boy Scout license plate issued

  Add Colorado to the list of available Boy Scout license plates. Looks like they got the 100th Anniversary Boy Scout with the flag into the design, although he's too close to the bolt hole in my opinion. I need one of these plates, by the way. I have other states for trade.     Governor Bill Ritter signed HB-1151...Read More

First Flap Report: What’s the State of the Patch Economy?

Like many of you I am a member of ISCA and in the OA news column they frequently cite the realized prices of First Flaps and compare them to the previous price guide listing. So just for fun I thought I would try this model minus the price guide.   OA 415 Lemollillahee First Flap   OA 524 Chippecotton First...Read More
