Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 25, 2025

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

I've been talking in the Hot Finds quite a bit about the sorting project in the warehouse. So a few days ago when i reached the point where I only had 10 boxes to go I filmed a video. The video gives you a front row seat to the chaos and my attempt to bring order to it. The video...Read More

The unboxing palooza in the back of the warehouse is finally finished. Friday, I stayed late to get the last bit of items sorted into tubs. Now all that's left is to clean up and decide what will be our first project for the month of May.   I did film a video on the big sort that I'll be...Read More

Enjoy a fresh unboxing today that includes a blooper. Without realizing it this collection came with two boxes. I was able to stitch the videos together to give you the full story on the collection. I filmed this one some time ago back when I had an editor who was helping me put together the videos. But that guy dropped...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

For the 2nd time on my YouTube channel I published a video featuring a Bill Chadek unboxing. Bill is a Scouter who lives in Nebraska that is a very good craftsman when it comes to restoring tools. In this case he takes 1/2 dozen vintage BSA hand axes and makes them shine. The transformation is incredible.   Today I am...Read More
