I've shared this before but if you want to be alerted the moment I go live on Facebook you can register at www.ScoutPatchLive.com.  Make sure you enable Facebook Messenger to be able and communicate because that's how the system can capture your comment of SOLD in the video. TOR tables for the Charlotte TOR are nearly sold out.  I sent some emails to...Read More

Here is what's ironic about this collection. The guy went to the 1965 NOAC from a small lodge out in CA. He traded for about 25 OA flaps and in the end doesn't have any flaps from his original lodge left. But his own lodge flaps decades later would be worth a whole lot more than the common issues he...Read More

I had a nice chat with Roy More who shared one reason that the Indy TOR has been so successful over the years. It's geography! Being in a central spot in the old Region 7 there are multiple metropolitan areas within a reasonable drive to this event. With tables that start at $22 for early registration it's a good value...Read More

This TOR is one of the best every year. I would not drive all this way and use up all my brownie points with my wife if it wasn't worth it. There are over 200 tables and it's run by a squad of volunteers. They run a live and silent auction plus a set of yard sale tables. I am...Read More

Over 400 people have registered for my live video sales and I'm happy to announce the next one is launching at 1 PM Eastern today. I've already got everything loaded and ready so there won't be any hiccups. If you want to watch live you can find the video in the Scout Patch Collectors Facebook Group or in my page...Read More

I have to credit Matt Delk (back row right) with setting up this picture. He thought it would be funny to get all the patch hounds at the meeting together. We were missing Brad Hutto who had already hit the road. On the front row are Greg McDaniel, Tripp Clark, Hunter Hackett and Bill Loeble. Every one in the picture...Read More

I've been in the same location for 2 years now. It has served me well and it only took me a year to properly move in. :) Last year I got everything kinda containerized and sorted so at least now I know where things are. The new location will give me some space to grow and especially a room to...Read More

#88 Boy Scout History Museums With Rick Stewart

Listen to "#88 Boy Scout History Museums With Rick Stewart" on Spreaker. Rick Stewart has been writing a quarterly article for the ISCA Journal on the topic of Scouting museums going on four years now. During a 20+ career as a professional Scouter and more as a volunteer he can also claim to have visited the National Scout Museum at...Read More

The collection I'm selling has many flaps from the 1970s and early 80s. Last night I offered up many S1 issues that are pre-fdl issues. The best patch I featured was an unusually tough flap from Lodge 40 which sold not long after I posted it for $150. Looking ahead to next week I am traveling to the Crossroads of...Read More

I actually have my first podcast interview scheduled this week! It's only been since Feb of 2019 that I published a podcast. I am set to interview Rick Stewart this week on the topic of Scouting museums. I will hopefully have the audio processed and get the podcast publish before the Friday Newsletter. I also talked to Mike McAdams about...Read More

During my tour I got to see the different rooms where they make some of the products that are sold in the BSA catalog. One of the coolest things is that some of the sales reps gave me items to put in the silent auction. One of these was a prototype 2019 WSJ blanket. I also got two Scout Gnomes...Read More

I know that 9 AM on a Tuesday is not convenient for anybody to watch a live video sale. However, my thought was if I got the video done then anyone could come behind and watch it as a replay. Any time you view the sale video all the features work. So this way my Hot Finds readers and Facebook...Read More

The collection I will be selling starting today is a 1,000 piece OA flap collection that I purchased in the late spring of 2019. This particular collection was assembled over about 20 years and was in notebooks organized by lodge number when I got it. So I'm literally going to go through from Lodge 1 to 500+ and sell it....Read More

I flirted this week with signing a lease on a patch warehouse that is closer to my house. Thankfully I took my wife there to get her honest opinion. She pointed out that the entrance was up a set of steps (no loading dock). I have a lot of crap in my warehouse so that heavy lifting didn't sound like...Read More

We did two solar installations on the trip. The first was in the house of a rural family who only had candle light in their two room "house". When we left their solar system would power four LEDs and provide them with a way to charge their mobile phone. The bigger project was installing two large solar panels and a...Read More
