  Although the holiday season is upon us there is a TOR just around the corner that I'll be attending. The longest running TOR in North Carolina will be held two weekends from now. The Old Hickory TOR is held in Winston-Salem, NC. This year they are adding a live and silent auction Saturday.   The Saturday of the Old...Read More

  I have a very cool collection on the way from a lady who offered to sell me her father's stuff. It's a very small collection but includes all the stuff he traded for at the 1937 Jamboree. It has the paper and the strange stuff people brought to trade including some Spanish moss in a bag from Mississippi. I...Read More

  Scott Wheeler sent me a message asking for the details of how I got my kid selling on eBay to pay her bills. I told him that sounded like a good blog post topic and so this morning I typed up the story and shared our recipe in My Kid Pays Her Cell Phone Bill Selling On eBay. It...Read More

  Friday I listed over 600 items from a collection of mostly SAPs that I've been sitting on for about a year. Right now these are only on my Scoutpatchhq store where I can avoid eBay fees. Probably before Thanksgiving I'll cross list them to eBay as well.   Last week I did get in a huge box but I...Read More

  I want to thank Jason Shull who shard with me scans of the earliest Camp Barstow patches. The design in 1930 was a little rough but then in 1931 it was a little more professional and added the yellow background that we've incorporated. I don't have a collection of Camp Barstow patches but I'd love to see someone do...Read More

  My daughter was always going last night but we were excited when two of her besties from youth group and church basketball also came. I think the age range was rising 6th graders through current 9th graders. The Scoutmaster took the girls outside for about 30 minutes towards the end so the parents could ask some nitty gritty questions....Read More

  I am sure many collectors have had moments when they put something up for sale because of a bill coming due. I've got a pair of super tough Philmont Ranger jacket patches(1971, 1972) up for bids for a simple goal. Sophia's fees for the 2019 WSJ are about $2500. Even selling these two won't pay for 1/2 of the...Read More

  This was a cool trip partially because it was a place that I had camped at with my troop as a Boy Scout back in the day. Now living in Charlotte this park is only an hour away. Today the girls hiked the battlefield trail and earned the patch. My contribution to the trip included breakfast this morning in...Read More

Since Tuesday a lot has happened!  I spent the better part of a day working to improve my website Scoutpatchcollectors.com.  I found a few bugs that made navigation difficult and there were some pages that needed to be fixed.  So today I can share that I'm not only proud to share the improved site but that I'm recording my first...Read More

  This year at camp we are rolling out a completely new program model. We have been promoting it heavily in the council and now that the website is live we can spread the word to the masses. It's interesting how today any troop in the southeast is really our target market. As you know troops today think nothing of...Read More

  I know some of you think my Scouting adventures are crazy so listen to this week. Tonight I have a Girl Scout meeting (I registered Friday as an official co-leader) in preparation for next weekend's camping trip. After a Pack meeting Monday the next big event is the informational meeting for our church's new Scouts BSA Girl Troop Thursday...Read More

  Last night I traveled to Camden, SC to attend the Wateree District Committee meeting and round table. I was there to pitch Camp Barstow to the folks that live on the eastern edge of the council. Ironically I made a connection with one of the adult leaders who grew up in my home council. We told old camp and...Read More

  I got contacted by a good OA brother that wants to come check out my warehouse and potentially help me out sorting and getting some stuff done. He said he is willing to work for patches. Oh man I might finally figure out what's in all those boxes stacked on shelves!   CLICK HERE TO OPEN THE OCTOBER 30,...Read More

  I also got an update on the Santee Lodge 116 TOR that will take place the first Saturday of 2019. What better place to hold a 1-day show than Myrtle Beach, SC in January. I know at first you might say wait you can't go in the ocean in January! But the truth is there are sooo many hotels...Read More

  This morning I'm going to fill a Best Hobby Pages order for a lodge trading post! I had a talk with one of the advisers on the phone who was lamenting that patch trading seems to have faded in his lodge. One way they are fighting back is to sell the BHP 6p Scout pages in their Trading Post....Read More
