eBay Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter
Sunday Morning
July 24, 2016
Fresh back from my lodge's summer fellowship.  It's always a good weekend when you get to put on your uniform, go to your boyhood camp and fellowship with old friends.  The weather was unbearably hot so I did get to enjoy that part as well.  I hope you enjoy today's issue of the newsletter.

I think if you are going to do a lodge fundraiser using patches then this is probably the way to go.  Santee 116 is trying to raise money for renovations to camp including replacing the 50+ year old swimming dock, storage for both sides of lake and other maintenance projects.  To honor one of our most beloved members they made a special issue patch and 100% of the proceeds are going to the camp improvements.  Maybe the smartest thing is they priced the donation patch at just $10 and so far they have sold a bunch of them.  I told the Treasurer adviser I'd take some and see if I could sell them for the lodge.  So if you want to get this Jimmy Duffy bear claw patch I have them for $10 and again the proceeds go to the lodge 100% to fix up Camp Coker.
Order of the Arrow Auctions Looking Good
Check out the great OA pieces that I spotted ending soon on eBay.  I especially like the neckerchiefs which are kinda a lost art in our hobby.

I have more .99 cent auctions ending soon.  Yes they are mostly a relist project on my district activity patches that I'm trying to move out.
I'm packing today to take the kids to the High Country Bus Festival.  This is a VW camping group's week long event where they sleep in their camper buses, play some tunes and enjoy taking a break.  If all goes well I'll still be on schedule for publishing the Hot Finds.
