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

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

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 should have taken a picture! On a whim I asked my daughter if she would come with us to Cub Scouts and be a Den Chief for one of the girl dens. We had talked about this off and on a few times but she was never committed. But when a storm cancelled her field hockey practice afterschool she...Read More

Tomorrow we fire up our first night of the program year for the Bears of Den 9. Right now we have nine Cub Scouts but I will see Monday if some of those fall off or hopefully we add a few new fresh faces. Our pack will also start up some female Cub Scout dens so it's the beginning...Read More

I started my work day just before 6 AM and am rolling through a productive Friday leading into the holiday weekend. Earlier I recorded a video on 5 reasons why Facebook has been good the last couple of weeks. I'll share some of those in today's newsletter. I need to clean off my sorting table so it's time...Read More

I did indeed get a neat collection this week albeit tiny that had some cool pieces from a Scout that attended the 1959 WSJ held in the Philippines. He traveled the world on a tour with a bunch of Scouts after the event which must have been an unbelievably formative event for a teenager. Every collection I get...Read More

I started collecting Boy Scout memorabilia when I was inducted into Santee Lodge 116, Order of the Arrow at Camp Coker in the summer of 1986. All the guys of ISWA chapter in Elk campsite seemed to be trading and since my dad sent me to camp with a small bag of patches, I jumped in and never looked back....
