    We have a smaller week of campers with the July 4 holiday falling on a Sunday this year. But the ones that are in camp are having fun. We should get brushed by some rain from Elsa later in the week but with our bundle system if we need to adjust schedules we have a lot of flexibility....Read More

    Happy Independence Day! Tonight at camp we will try and celebrate that with a small part of our opening campfire. We have a smaller crowd than normal thanks to the holiday but I hope that will allow me to get out and about taking pictures and capturing the camp spirit rather than putting out fires.   As you...Read More

    The cool weather and occasional showers continue to help us enjoy a very mild summer in central South Carolina. I can look on the news and see that some parts of the country are not fareing as well this summer. Our high today is 78 degrees which is unheard of in July!   Our pop up Scout museum...Read More

  The irony is very real! I was sitting at my table at theTuscaloosa AL TOR when I got an email about a collection. Turns out the guy was from AL that attended the 1957 National Jamboree. We talked on the phone and miraculously the collection was in my box on Monday after the show.   I love getting time...Read More

  I am sending the "Sunday" issue out late. Today is the beginning of Week 2 at camp and I was running from 7 AM until long after last night's campfire. We have a big crowd in camp and check-in and campfire went great. I apologize that some of these auctions have already ended but I wanted to try and...Read More

  We are finishing up week 1 at Camp Barstow on a high note. The Scouts and leaders were blessed with a week where the high temperature all week was 83 and I actually spotted a jacket or two at the morning flagpole assembly. The staff has been great and we are getting out sea legs under us to set...Read More

  Over the weekend I attended a Camp Staff Reunion (held every 5 years) at Camp Barstow. Part of the program was a historical display that I think ran about a dozen tables long. My small contribution included the collection of a former Scout Executive and his son. I saw lots of people admiring these displays and reminiscing about their...Read More

  It's been a great staff week at Camp Barstow. In a little over 48 hours we will welcome our Week 1 campers and I think the camp and the staff are ready. But before then we have a special treat. There is a camp staff alumni reunion Saturday with over 100 old timers coming out for a catered meal...Read More

Boy Scout Patch Collection Unboxing – 1957 National Jamboree Alabama

Another collection recycled back into the hands of collectors! I got an email from a gentleman who attended the 1957 National Jamboree from Alabama who had kept his stuff all these years. We had a great phone conversation where I got to hear the details of his exploits at Valley Forge, PA all those years ago. In this unboxing you...Read More

  I just published another unboxing video even though I've been at camp for several days now. Luckily I have some "in the can" thanks to the work of my video editor Samuel. This was a fun collection from a guy that went to the 1960 and 1964 Jamboree.   What made this unboxing even more unusual is that the...Read More

1960 & 1964 Boy Scout Jamboree Collection Unboxing From Pennsylvania

When you get a collection in from a Jamboree Scout from the 1960s it's bound to have some interesting stuff. This collection did not disappoint. In fact this gentleman is a fan of my YouTube channel and I promised that I would get his collection included in one of my unboxings. Enjoy!

  For those of you who have been loyal readers of this email you will already know that in 2019 I did a terrible job of keeping on schedule once camp started. I have some systems in place now that should make that easier but I am sure I'll eventually break my streak of publishing on time.   Thank you...Read More

Hollywood’s Calling! Can you help outfit some Scouts for a movie scene?

I am helping a Los Angeles based costumer provide authentic Boy Scout uniforms for an upcoming movie. The costumer needs to outfit over 100 Scouts for the scene. I have provided them with over 100 pounds of uniform parts. However, some things are so specific that I just don't have any more to offer. So I'm sourcing from the Scout...Read More

  I was contacted by a Los Angeles based costumer a few weeks ago. They are filming a movie that includes a scene with over 100 Scouts set in the early 1960s. I was able to provide them with over 100 pounds of uniform parts to help make everything as authentic as possible. But I am tapped out and need...Read More

  Today is neckerchief day in the warehouse. No that's not a Scout holiday you have never heard of. But rather it's the day we are scanning and getting ready to list probably 1000 Jamboree neckerchiefs followed by hundreds of NOAC neckerchiefs. There are several sorting projects that I am desperate to finish before pushing off for camp. I keep...Read More
