I wrote this issue yesterday because I knew that Friday morning things would be a little busy in my household. We have two kids anxious to open presents and my in-laws are visiting. So I hope you enjoy this eBay newsletter distraction from all the celebration today for many.
Vintage eBay Boy Scout Auctions This Weekend
It looks like I might be getting a new gig as a merit badge counselor. At the charter school where I teach middle school social studies there are probably 10 Boy Scouts and a couple have dropped a hint about this idea. So after talking it over with one of the parents I'm going to pursue teaching Personal Management after school. I did something similar years ago when I worked at another middle school.
I placed an order (my first!) from the online OA trading post this week. I saw their email blast that said if you spent $30 you could get a free centennial chenille. I've got a jacket that I want to sew that patch on so one hoodie and a round patch later I had a qualifying order.
There is a pretty cool website that allows you to find a Scout troop (or pack or crew) in your area by zipcode at www.BeAScout.org. I started searching it this week nailing down possible units in the areas that we are looking to move. I'm going to have a Tiger Cub next year so I need to do my homework!
This block has links to lots of my Dixie Fellowship (SR-5) memorabilia listed on eBay. I'm going to try and get a checklist with images going on CarolinaOA.com. That is something that I had years ago on my website and it's fallen by the wayside.
