Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter October 14, 2018

    I sometimes get random emails from people asking me if I'm interested in stuff they come across. Yesterday I got one of those on something really old from an corner of the hobby that I don't really collect. However, I really want to go after this piece because it's just too cool. I don't want to jinx the...Read More

  I was so distracted because I'm up against a deadline to get the website finished and the leaders guide wrapped up for Camp Barstow. Tonight in Columbia, SC we have an appreciation night for the leaders and parents and will use that opportunity to promote the camp. I'm leaving work today around 2 PM to head that way.  ...Read More

  Our pack was well represented with more than a dozen new female Cubs in attendance. They put on a pretty good skit Saturday night. One of the youngest closed our campfire by reciting the Scout Law. My daughter Sophia got to bond with some of the older girls that will be charter members of a Scouts BSA troop in...Read More

    What I am going for in this new blog post is to see how collectors are using Besthobbypages.com to organize and store their collection. Ask yourself this question. If you have thousands of dollars invested in your patch collection why would you store it in a shoebox or a gallon size zip-lock bag? I think that's where BHP...Read More

  I've just published information on the website with details on next year's Charlotte TOR. We are staying on the goldilocks weekend that is just after many lodge spring events but not too close to Easter or late April conclaves to create a conflict. I hope you can make plans to attend. This is our 3rd year and the show...Read More

  Today my kids will miss the 5th day of school this year thanks to our friendly neighborhood hurricanes here in the southeast. In Charlotte we only got a few inches of rain but about 32 schools in the area didn't have power yesterday so they made the decision to close again today. Of course I count myself lucky looking...Read More

    I am keeping an eye on the next hurricane that is going to roll through the southeast. This time I'm not sand bagging my doors but we do expect to get 5-6 inches of rain from Michael.   CLICK HERE TO OPEN THE OCTOBER 09, 2018 ISSUE OF THE SCOUTING HOT FINDS NEWSLETTER

  I know a few folks are probably wondering why or how a bunch of camps from all over the country (yes as far away as South Dakota) would have an organized trade show to pitch to these troops. As the executive in Ft. Myers told me in the summer his camp has temps in the high 90s and mosquitoes...Read More

  Our pack has stand alone female dens now for Wolves, Bears, Webelos and AOL. I also saw in the audience some older sisters that I learned are going to join the Scouts BSA troop that the church is sponsoring when it fires up in 2019. Combined with our AOL den that will cross over that troop will have a...Read More

  Every once in a while I get a call from my antique mall store with a customer making a strange request. This week it was a high school student that wanted to buy over 200 of my $1 patches at a discount for a project. I have no idea what the project was and should have made send me...Read More

    Ok so what I did was create a Facebook Page called the Scout Uniform Closet and in there I posted albums that had pictures of the uniforms that I had photographed and measured. I spent a lot of extra effort ironing and cleaning the pieces prior to listing in order to make them shine. Sure enough when recruiting...Read More

  Tonight on eBay I have over 100 auctions ending. These are mostly relisted items where I dropped the prices after my first run. Sometimes with Scouting collectibles you don't know exactly what the right number is for a minimum bid to protect yourself and give the bidder enough room to jump in.   Today I'm working on a project...Read More

  It's a small world. I'm sure in Scouting you are often reminded of that. Yesterday during a break in the action at the training event I attended I bumped into a friend from my Scouting days in Iswa Chapter of Santee Lodge. I am pretty sure the last time I saw Drew Dowling was at his wedding. Twenty plus...Read More

  I think it's taken me all week to get caught up from a Hurricane Florence hangover. Despite my best efforts I have not been able to zero out my shipping all week and get completely caught up. The good news is I've had a string of orders for Best Hobby Pages that always take time to count and package....Read More

When a hurricane is bearing down on you it is handy that the previous owners of our new house left behind a sand box. My kids are a bit too old to enjoy it so this morning we turned that into a sand bagging pit and made 20+ bags that I could use to shore up the warehouse. I can...Read More
