I am a lucky guy when it comes to my wife understanding my Scouting passion. Even with the family moving and all the change that we are going through she has signed off on my attending back to back conclaves coming up next month. I am sure you can appreciate how this 1 hour a week thing doesn't apply when you've got the bug like some of us do.
Vintage Boy Scout Memorabilia Up First
It might end before some of you can click on it but I just love the Kit Karson Kit below in the box. I have one in my collection but not with the box. This one has been used and the box is not in the greatest of shape but it is still over $200 and going.
The OA Activity patch blind trade is in full swing. I've got over 20 collectors who have expressed an interest and packages are arriving every day for the big shuffle and sort. The deadline is not for another week so if you have a minimum of 10 dupe conclave or fellowship patches that you want to send in to get back 10 different send me an email.
This week I hope to send off the check holding down a spot for my troop at the Girl Scout experience this summer at the Summit. My hope is that this high adventure experience will plant the seed for my daughter to want to do Venturing in two years when she is transitioning to high school.
Over on the Facebook Store I've got lots of patches lined up to photograph this week and get listed. This includes about 100 OA two-piece sets, about a thousand CSPs and hundreds of flaps. Looks like I'll be burning some midnight oil.
As promised here is a picture of our church troops from Girl Scout Sunday. This picture represents girls in K-12 and if you can believe it we've got twice this many girls active. I'm taking the older girls to Camp Graham almost on the VA line Sunday for a long day trip. I guess I better get the newsletter done the night before!
