Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter October 30, 2018
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'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

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've been moving some of my 2018 NOAC issues since starting up a 25% off sale. I found some more patches that never got listed from the event and I'll try and get those up this week too before all the interest in these has waned. It turns out my niece is going to become my newest "employee" next...Read More

Sometimes when you are sitting on a porch drinking that first cup of coffee in the morning do you ever think up patch projects where you can kinda see in your minds eye what the finished product looks like? I had that moment this morning and after the dust settles from moving I'm going to start working on it....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

Yesterday I finally opened two small collections that I purchased during July when I was busy transitioning from Camp Director to civilian. I recorded the unboxing and have already sold some of the key pieces to collectors on Facebook. I love recycling collections back into the hobby. One thing I try to do from every collection is keep...Read More

Today's Hot Finds Newsletter is coming to you from the NOAC at Indiana University. Today is #2 of the Pre-NOAC TOR put on by Chris Jensen. Yesterday was a good start to the event with lots of familiar faces reconnecting with Scouting friends. When you get around these many Scouters you hear some scoops that need to make their...Read More

Yesterday afternoon I was sad. After breaking down my tables at the Pre-NOAC TOR I drove around the IU campus looking to see if there were any hot spots of trading. Sadly there was no pulse. The one thing you need for some patch trading to explode is lots of people in a central place. After dinner it was...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....
