Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter June 6, 2025

As I am finishing packing the van to head to the camp staff reunion this weekend I want to share another episode of the podcast. In my packing I found historical paper and pictures that I have not taken off the shelf since moving into this warehouse almost 5 years ago. Which means nobody in the outside world has seen them...Read More

In a recent Hot Finds I mentioned the topic of a traveling display along with the idea of council historical societies. One of the responses to that email was hearing from Jeff Morley. Jeff put his experience working with the museums set up at NOACs to create a helpful YouTube video shared in the digital cracker barrel. I watched the video...Read More

Tonight I hope to participate in a Scouting Alumni Communities Webinar led by Bradley Taylor and Tim Brown. I am a little late to the game on these BSA webinars although when I was a camp director I did plenty. Back in the day I was in APO but I don't think I am a member of NESA. I want...Read More

In revisiting the episodes of my podcast I could not leave out this interview with Nick Loesch who many of you remember from eBay and TORs. Nick was one of those dealers at TORs that traveled for miles around and always had a ton of stuff. On eBay he was also epic and had one of the larger stores in the Boy...Read More

I have been revisiting some of my old content in the Hot Finds and today I've got one from the archives to share. This was the VERY first unboxing video I published over 11 years ago. In total I now have 90 of these videos in a playlist on YouTube. I am sure that when I filmed this one I had...Read More

I have been revisiting the episodes of my hobby podcast - Scouting Hot Finds Radio. I thought today I'd share the episode I did with Dr. Terry Grove back in 2012. He had just put together a presentation slide show to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Eagle Scout rank. With my help we turned that into a PDF book that...Read More

My latest unboxing video released this week is a little different. I set up a camera and made a time lapse video of the giant sorting process I referenced in previous newsletters. In fact if you look closely, you can even see a glimpse of me filming some unboxing videos.   Thanks to one of my amazing employees we now...Read More

I spoke on the phone with Rick Stewart recently and learned that he has some health struggles. So I wanted to share my podcast interview with all of you where we talked about his long running ISCA Journal series about visiting Scout museums. I enjoyed this interview and definitely think it's worth a listen and as a way to say...Read More

Today I wanted to give you guys a video that is not publicly available on YouTube. In fact this was the first ever video I published for my Patreon Group over 5 years ago. This was during a time when I had a video editor so the production quality is very good (for me!). It share some of my feedback "after the...Read More

I finally got wise and timed the release of an unboxing video with my launch of the auctions that go with it. The video shares a really nice PA collection that I got in a while back. I finally put aside everything else this week to get these items scheduled for eBay and some went live last night.   My...Read More

Awesome Pennsylvania Boy Scout Collection Unboxing

I sometimes hear from families where everyone down the family tree was involved with Scouting. But at some point they have so much stuff that they don't need to hang on to all of it. This was one of those situations in which the Eagle Scout grandson had items passed down to him. He took many of the items to...Read More

This morning I published a video for the paid members of the Patreon Group sharing some stories of collections and my wins and fails. Often times within the SHF Insiders I can open up a little more about some of the craziness of trying to do this full time.   I've got a link above to the eBay Store of...Read More

I got an idea yesterday while shoveling wood chips and gardening. It came from a podcast I was listening to in order to pass the time. While in Las Vegas this March for the reseller conference I met a guy named Mike. His whole YT channel and podcast are around supporting local eBay meet ups across the country. He attends...Read More

This week's unboxing features a collection from a family featuring the grandfather and grandson. In talking to the family it was obvious that the 1930s Eagle Scout was a big influence on his grandson. This collection might be the beginning of an Eagle Scout display idea that I have been cooking up.   Last night while scrolling Facebook I saw...Read More

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
