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.

  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

  Tomorrow on the way home from vacation I'm making a detour to Aiken, SC in order to buy a small collection. The owner is driving over from GA and that's our 1/2 way spot. He is really old school so it's person to person and cash only on this deal.   This weekend I am headed to Barstow for...Read More

  Does you camp do this? Our camp staff at Barstow tries to put on a "throwback Thursday" where we wear vintage uniforms to dinner. I got a call from a staff member yesterday trying to piece together some of the patches for his uniform to match. I don't know if that's planting a seed or not but getting Scouts...Read More

  I've got another unboxing video out today. This one is interesting because it's kinda a part 2. The gentleman who sent me a box of his dad's stuff several months ago decided to send me another box. This time it had more of his own stuff and some of his son's unwanted items. No killer pieces but I did...Read More

  Yesterday I went to go purchase a North Carolina collection. This might just be the first such picking trip for my patch wagon (as my friend named it). On the way home I stopped at the local BBQ restaurant as I was in Lexington style territory. I have to say my favorite is the midlands mustard based sauce but...Read More
