      Eagle Certificates

      By Eagle1993 · Posted

      My understanding is that there is always a delay between administrations.  If there is an issue with Trump's approval, perhaps this is a good opportunity to move away from the President of the US as the honorary President of Scouting America and have someone else serve in that role.  David Montgomery?  Mike Rowe?  I'm not sure if there is an issue, but it would be interesting to see someone who is actually a former scout and exemplifies scouting ideals as the honorary president vs politicians.

      Well, one troop I know created their own Eagle Scout certificate template that looks like the real certificate. Maybe I can get a copy.

      One must wonder if, in addition to the other areas of focus, there is a perception within the Administration that a name change in the name of inclusiveness, as manifested on the new certificates and the new patch, is indicative of DEI/woke paradigms and slowing any assistance is a method to create angst before leveraging abandonment of such updates.

      Scouting Memorabilia - Left out of Collectibles Boom?

      By Tron · Posted

      I would add to this that when you get to the made for collector era of anything you need to have an eye for the very best/most desirable. In some collectables there is artificial pumping and dumping happening; however, there are items that people just keep or catch the random person eye and they snag up for a collection. If you want to make money keep an eye out for "signature" items, FOS CSPs, specialty training patches that have dates, basically anything that might indicate a limited run or some sort of way to determine first production run. Not trying to be funny, but, it is sort of comical, anything that you look at and might think, "oh that might offend so-and-so", you know that's gold, it's going to get pulled out of production somehow, people will want it because of the taboo.
