IseA JOURNAL - JUNE 2005 3 CHAIRMAN.S & PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

A few words from the President and the Chairman ....

The 2005 National Jamboree is only a month away and ISCA will be participating at the highest level ever in our history.

ISCA members will be staffing an ISCA "Ethics in Patch Trading" booth continuously throughout the Jamboree near Trading Post "B" on Thomas Road. Jef Heckinger, our EVP of Marketing, has done a tremendous job of getting our booth ready and securing the staff to make it run smoothly. The booth will be handing out souvenirs and will also be providing the newest edition of the "Blue Terry Grove Book" to anyone who signs up to become a member of ISCA. Craig Leighty Chairman ISCA is also sponsoring the Collections Merit Badge on Merit Badge Midway. President Craig Leighty is heading up the staff, along with Jim Ellis, that will be responsible for running the Collections Merit Badge. This is a first for us and represents ISCA at its very best in teaching and educating youth who would like to be skilled and knowledgeable collectors.

If you are going to be at the Jamboree, either as a participant or as a visitor, please consider volunteering to serve on staff at either of the ISCA areas. Staff sign-ups for both areas are being coordinated by Jef Heckinger. There will be a special ISCA patch for each staff member. The design continues in the tradition of past ISCA patches. Maybe we are starting new collection possibility. Do you have each patch issued by ISCA? As a member why not?

The 2005 Distinguished Service Award will be given out sometime during the Jamboree. Please, please exercise your right to vote and help choose the person you think has distinguished himself in the collecting community. The nominees this year are Bruce Dordick, Roy More, and Jeff Morley. See pages 6 and 7 of this Journal for their bios and how to cast your ballot.

501 (c)(3) status will be important to ISCA's future. The Executive Board is exploring the possibility that we can receive tax­ deductible funds and build our possibilities for education within the hobby. More will be shared as we travel this governmental trail.

The future of the hobby remains bright. Trade-o-rees are reporting success even in the face of the EBAY presence. It seems that the old fashion handshake and the making of new friends remains a high priority in collecting and trading. The emergence of information on the Internet and published books prepared by collectors is wonderful. The sharing of discoveries and knowledge can only enhance the hobby. More and more hobbyists are displaying their collections at local troops, council events and national events. Yea for those who take the time!

On a personal note, Terry received the Founders Award at the Tipisa Lodge's Spring Conclave for his contributions to the Order of the Arrow. Craig received the Founders Award from Hungteetsepoppi Lodge this past fall.

4 ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2005 MARKETING UPDATE By Jef Heckinger

For everyone who noticed, my e-mail [email protected]. I also can now be reached at my office at [email protected]. Look forward to hearing from all of you. The Marketing Committee is up and running. We need your help to make the more than 100,000 patch traders out there aware of ISCA! We have sub-committees for Council Office displays and ads, for Area Conclaves, for national publications, for Trade-o-rees, and for National Events. What would you like to help with?

The volunteers for Day Staff positions at the National Jamboree continue to come in, if you are willing to work as little as one four hour shift, we would be glad to have you join us! If you are not able to help out at the Jamboree, please stop by and visit us, we will be signing up new full members as well as e-members. Through the generosity of Roy More, J. Conley Williams, Johnny Pleasants and Bill Topkis, we will have Frisbees, bookmarks, cd's and new Blue Books to hand out, as well as the possibility of a penny smasher, with the ISCA logo on it! We expect to be near Trading Post B. I am always looking for new ideas for marketing ISCA, let me know yours thoughts. One of the best thing each of us can do is obtain and wear the ISCA name tags. If you do not have on contact me and I will let you know how to get one, at a very reasonable price. Congratulations to the Boy Store for becoming the first licensed ISCA dealer.

ISCA MEMBER AUTHORS BOOK ON JAMES E. WEST

ISCA member Ed Rowan, MD (ISCA # 0022) has authored a new book about the life and times of James E. West and the impact he had on the Boy Scouts of America during its formative years. The author traces the life of Dr. West from his early days in a Washington, DC orphanage, through over 30 years as the , and finaly into a retirement that West did not want. Special attention is paid to the role West played in developing the BSA into the organization it is today. I found it especially interesting how West was able to lead the BSA while dealing with the often contentious relationship between himself and the other founding fathers of the BSA, and .

All in all, this is a must read for all Scouts and Scouters interested in the history of the organization to which they belong. I highly recommend it to all.

"To Do My Best" will be published later this year and will be available from the Las Vegas International Scouting Museum (702) 878-7268.

James C. Ellis, Editor

Editor's Note: For the sake of full disclosure, I was involved in the layout and production of this book. - JCE

It should be noticed that the letters "C," "0," and "U" are all quite round in the Type 2's. As would be expected there is an absence of gauze on the backs of these Type 2's. An­ other change happened over time in terms of the colors of the threads on the backs of the 1/2KRs. It appears that the earlier ones had all red thread showing on their backs, but later ones had increasing amounts of a dark blue thread that ap­ pears almost black in color.

Given the kind of prices that 1/2TRs and 1/2KRs have been realizing on eBay it appears that there is a growing appreciation for their rareness and hence their value. Even so, there are probably less than a handful of collectors who have even as many as 25 in their collections.

MUSEUM NEWS AND VIEWS

RECENT ADDITIONS The Las Vegas International Scouting Museum recently acquired two of the rarest pieces of BSA insignia in existence. The Scout Commissioner and Scout Executive badges with bullion thread were only used for a short period in the late teens. Very few of these patches are believed to still exist and as far as the Muesum can determine, this is the only known set.

At a time when an entire uniform could be purchased for less than $10.00, these patches cost approximately $2.25 each, which, no doubt, contributed to their limited use and subsequent scaricity.

After a frank discussion about what sort of boy should be allowed to be a Scout, West approved the program and allowed the State Home boys to be registered.

The next May, Scoutmasters around the state were invited to a meeting at the State Home. Once the Scoutmasters were reassured that the boys sent to them would act in a Scout-like manner, it was usually possible to find a unit to accept a boy after he was paroled.

In 1924, James E. West and Sigmund Eisner1 attended a court of honor at the State Home. Eisner wrote to West about that visit:

One of the happiest times I have had was the evening at Jamesburg, to see those boys, and to note their development through the Boy Scout work. This should be an inspiration all over the country. On my way home from Jamesburg, I told Mrs. Eisner that I wished that Mr. West's whole executive board could The Strengthen the Arm of Ubertytheme dates this event to 1948- have been there to see what Scouting really 1950.

Monmouth Council's Chingarora District held at Camp Derrick in the fall of 1957 and 1958. Bill Burket attended in 1958 with Union Beach Troop 56. His recollections of the visit are similar to Ritchie's, including the services in the chapel with the inmates. A newspaper article about the 1958 district specifically identified the location as "Camp Derrick, Jamesburg."

We assume that the same location was used for the State Home campsite continuously from 1921 to the 1970s when the program ended. We do not know precisely when the campsite came to be named after Derrick, although there is documentation that the name was in use by 1946.

His program at Jamesburg, involving the use of the Scout program as originally developed by him for institutional use, has been one of the most important factors in the lives of the boys at that institution and has served as a guide and practical example to other juvenile institutions throughout the country.

In 1970, Superintendent Charles W. Houston noted the downs and ups of the program:

16 (SeA JOURNAL" JUNE 2005 Valley Forge Mystery Solved?

In a previous column, a khaki and red Valley Forge 1/2-strip was reported. Subsequently there was some debate as to whether it was a council strip or only a community strip. Information resolving that mystery comes from Earle Painter who wore one on his uniform while serving as a Neighborhood Commissioner in 1952. Earle explained that Valley Forge was not actually a town in the usual sense, but it does have a post office and a train station. It was primarily a state park and a troop met in a building behind the chapel that eventually became a museum. Earle also explained that there was never a council office within the confines of the council. Instead, it was in Philadelphia. After an absence of a few years, Earle returned to the area and by then Scouts were wearing Valley Forgel Council RWS. Thus the Valley Forge 1/2KR appears to have been worn by Council Staff, but it remains unclear whether the Valley Forge 1/2RW was also worn by them. Can anyone help us out?

The ALOHA COUNCIUHAWAII RWS has a longer name (100mm versus 95mm) and a larger gap (13mm versus 9mm) in the council name than the commonly known ones. It appears to be an earlier format that may have been in general use around the Council before they issued additional ones for the other 11 island groups. Consistent with this theory it has a Type 1 border while all the others have a Type 2 border. Another new patch comes from Hawaii. It is the MAUl COUNTY 1/2RW

Two new khaki and reds have surfaced and they are both from the same council. The OLD COLONY 1/2KR has a gauze back and the early square letters, whereas the OLD COLONY COUNCIL 1/2KR is in the more common format.

The BLUE WATER 1/2BW also has the earlier format with a gauze back and the more square letter format. As would be expected it is on blue wool rather than blue twill. The other new Sea Scout patch is BROOKLYN 1/2BW

Of the 5 new mbs, NAVAL BASE 1/2KR is most interesting as its generic format allowed its use at numerous naval bases. In 1943, Patuxent Naval Air Station was established on the Patuxent River in Maryland. Scouts there wore the PATUXENT 1/2RW The FORT SHAFTER 1/2RW was used in Hawaii. The 2 new air force base strips come from Texas, BERGSTOM A.F.B. and Nova Scotia (Canada), PEP PERRELL A.F.B. The latter one was acquired by Cub Scout Rex Jones, in 1958, while his father was serving there.

In terms of unusual and sometimes funny community strips we have Justice, Level Green, Muleshoe, Painted Post, Swamp Fox, and Weedville.

Thanks go out to the following individuals for their contributions; Allen Beck, James Cuff, Rod Gaudreau, Gary & Jennifer Gole, Terry Grove, Rex Jones, Roy More, Rick Obermeyer, Ed Quigley, Bruce Raver, Eric Ribitz, Steve Ross, and Rick Shields.

ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2005 19 FINE TWILL (TYPE DJ CRIMPED MERIT BADGES by Fred Duersch, Jr • ISeA # 3012

Fine Twill merit badges, hereafter referred to as Type 0, are considered by many serious merit badge collectors as the most challenging type to acquire. There were 111 merit badges available for Scouts and Scouters to earn during WWII when Type 0 merit badges were first known. They were introduced during 1942 and continued to be made until the khaki crimped merit badges, hereafter referred to as Type E, came on the scene in 1947. Type 0 merit badges were also known as sand twill because of their similarity to the color of sand. They were made from a very light weight cloth which is evident when compared to the heavier cloth used for the previous narrow tan crimped merit badges, hereafter referred to as Type C. The change to the lighter weight cloth was made in support of the war effort so that the heavier cloth could be used to make much needed military uniforms. Type C merit badge cloth color varied in shades from light brown to dark tan khaki as compared to the consistent light tan color of Type 0 merit badges. All known Type 0 merit badges have the same light tan color without exception. As the name fine twill implies, the twill lines are much tighter and closer together when compared to the coarse twill lines of Type C and Type E merit badges. The heavier cloth was reintroduced in 1947 after the war, except the cloth color changed to a consistent darker green khaki. The green khaki cloth color was used on Type E merit badges from 1947 through 1960. Type C, 0, and E merit badges are all considered narrow crimped merit badges and appear similar in size and configuration. They also all have an adhesive-like sizing on the back that serves the purpose of stiffening the merit badge. The main differences are cloth color and twill coarseness. It is not uncommon to see a mixture of all three types awarded well into the 1950's. I earned my Eagle Badge in 1957 and received a Type 0 Landscape Gardening Merit Badge the same year. Figure 1 shows a comparison of Type C, 0, and E merit badges.

Type C Type D Type E

Figure 1. Comparison of Type C, 0, and E Merit Badges

COMPARISON OF NUMBER EARNED AND AVAILABLE TOTALS

Out of 111 merit badges available from 1942 through 1946, only 85 Type 0 merit badges are known. It is my opinion that only Type 0 merit badges were made during those years. I base this assumption on the significant need for military uniforms, increased patriotism, and the strong desire of the American people and industry to do whatever was necessary to win the war. However, it is still difficult to explain why only 85 out of 111 are known to exist. Safety was earned 179,000 times during these years yet it is not known to exist in Type D. The only explanation I can offer is that there was a tremendous stock pile of Type C Safety Merit Badges or, that the heavier cloth continued to be used to make the 26 merit badges that are not known to exist. However, it is unlikely there was a sufficient stock pile to meet the demand for all 26 of these merit badges. I welcome other theories from serious collectors and that is exactly what they are in the absence of hard data.

COMPARISON OF SCARCITY AND VALUE

In an attempt to determine scarcity and value of Type 0 merit badges, I conducted a survey of ten major merit badge collectors throughout the US to identify the Type 0 merit badges they had in their collections. The attached table shows the results of this survey. The first 26 merit badges are not known to exist in any collection. They automatically received a scarcity ranking of ten on a scale of one to ten with ten being the most scarce. The next 85 merit badges in the table are listed in order of scarcity beginning with the most scarce. It should be emphasized that my scarcity ranking is not an exact science. Number earned totals and number known totals were both used to determine scarcity. In some cases, the number known totals and number earned totals appear to be in conflict. An example is Grasses, Legumes, and Forage Crops which was in all ten major collections yet had only 295 earned. To me, this is additional support of the argument that most, if not all of the merit badges made during this time were Type D. Merit badge earned totals were gleaned from the BSA annual reports to congress and are for the years 1942 through 1946. Because these totals include both Type C and Type 0 merit badges, the totals shown should be decreased by at least half to be a fair indicator. The value ranges apply to nice unwashed, undamaged, excellent-to-mint merit badges.

OTHER POSSIBLE TYPE D MERIT BADGES

Some merit badge collectors believe Automobiling (wheel) should be included in the list because it was discontinued in 1942 and replaced with the car design. I don't believe it was made in Type 0 for two reasons. The car design was being considered for at

20 ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2005 least two years prior to the advent of Type 0 merit badges. Also, use of automobile wheels with wooden spokes ended after 1933. A similar argument can be given for the Aviation (propeller) design. The name was changed to Aeronautics in 1942 using the same design, hence the reasoning to include Aeronautics on the Type 0 list. It's difficult to explain why Airplane Structure exists in Type 0 but not the other three airplane oriented merit badges. One theory suggests there were an abundance of the blue fully embroidered airplane merit badges due to the Program and that they were preferred in all Scouting programs because of their aesthetic appeal. Because Airplane Structure was the most commonly earned among the airplane merit badges, there may have been a need for additional Airplane Structure Merit Badges that may explain its existence in Type D. The blue fully embroidered airplane merit badges of the time period are considered Type C. It is hoped this article excites an increased awareness and interest in collecting BSA merit badges, particularly in the discovery of unknown Type 0 merit badges. I welcome your input and comments.

22 ISCA JOURNAL" JUNE 2005 NECKERCHIEF SLIDES Neal Neckerchief Slides at the 1964 National Jamboree by JOHN KOPPEN ·/SCA # 0085

There was a wonderful group of Neal Slides represented at the 1964 National Jamboree. I was there as a Scout and was very active at that event. I was a winner of the Nathan Hale Essay Contest sponsored by the Freedom Foundation, earned the Adventure Award, etc. I attended and participated in everything I could. I also visited all the trading posts and managed to acquire one of each of the 10 different metal Region contingent n/c slides at that Jamboree. However, I do not recall seeing even one Neal slide on a Scout there! First, the Jamboree Neal slides are few and used in limited quantity. (Neal required an order minimum of 100 units for orders made for various contingent pieces.) Secondly, there were 52,000 in attendance at the Jamboree in 1964.

It is truly amazing what can be at a Jamboree and not be discovered until long after the fact. And this may not be the final word on the Neal slides from the 1964 National Jamboree.

Please refer to previous articles on Neal slides: "Neal Neckerchief Slides", ASTA Report Vol. 15-No 2, June 2000, pages 38-49; "First Neckerchief Slides", ISCA Journal, Vol. 4, No.4, December 2004 pages 31-32; and "The Friendship Gift Neckerchief Slides of Millard Neal", ASTA Report, Vol. 13-No 3, September 1998, page 92.

GENERAL SLIDES

First, there is the patch-like deSign with the kneeling Washington. Most that exist are fully painted, but I do have one, (see photo), without Washington painted. All that I am aware of have the white "Friendship Gift" sticker on the back. This means that they were probably given to officials and dignitaries. There is also another general slide that is a U.S.A. map design. There are different paintings that were done by Neal's workers. Some have the white "Friendship Gift" sticker and some do not.

IseA JOURNAL· JUNE 2005 23 REGION SLIDES

The Region One n/c slide is the only Region slide Neal made specifically for this Jamboree. It is Neal's standard lobster design, only with a yellow baggage tag attached with a blue cord. On one side of the tag is the Region 1 emblem. On the other side, it says: "Greetings from REGION ONE (New England States) Boy Scouts of America 6th National Jamboree Valley Forge, Pennsylvania." There was a standard painted metal slide with the Region 1 design that was given to everyone from Region 1. Therefore this Neal piece had special restricted use. Because it begins with "Greetings from Region One", it appears that it may GREETINGS rROM REGION ONE have been used as a presentation or souvenir piece. (NEW ENGLAND STATES) BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA 6tb NATIONAL JAMBOREE VALUY fORGE, PlNNSnVANIA

COUNCIL CONTINGENT SLIDES

BOSTON Boston Council had a circular slide with Paul Revere on horseback with the old North Church emitting light. In addition, each Scout from that council received two trading slides with Paul Revere and 13 stars around the outside, but no designation on it! As a result, very few people know of its origin.

NORTH BERGEN COUNTY North Bergen County Council has a slide that celebrates their Tercentennial. New Jersey was named after the Island of Jersey in the English Channel, the birthplace of Sir George Carteret, who became co­ owner of New Jersey in 1664. It is an attractive design with a triangle over the shape of New Jersey. The same New Jersey shape without the triangle was used by Neal for the 1969 N.J. It simply says "N J 1969", with the area of the North Bergen Council in black.

24 ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2005 MOHEGAN

Mohegan Council from Worcester, Massachusetts, had a round design with the shape of Massachusetts in the center circle, reminiscent of many of the 1957 N.J. styles.

CHARTER OAK

Charter Oak Council from Hartford, CT used the U.S.A. map design with their name on it. Using the map of the U.S.A. is appropriate in that Hartford is the insurance capital of the United States.

UNION

Union Council had a simple, 2-colored rectangular design with rounded corners. They had contingent slides for the 1957 and 1960 N. J.s. Their 1960 one was a Neal slide also.

CHESTER COUNTY

Chester County Council from Pennsylvania had a thick mushroom-shaped deSign that came unpainted. The processing of mushrooms grown in the West Chester area was an important economic factor. They also had a Neal slide at the 1960 N.J. in the shape of Neal's standard Indian chief head with headdress. (It also came unpainted.)

Since the Scout lived in Easthampton, MA, I am assuming this camp belonged to Hampshire County Council #235 which operated in Northhampton, MA from 1922-1930. There were no BSA councils ever headquartered in Easthampton.

Recently, there was an auction of a collection of BSA memorabilia from the 1920's from Salem, OH. The camp item was a diamond-shaped felt with a "C" and "E."

ISCA member Eric Hendrix wrote to suggest a classification system for Scouting related movies. He classifies them in this way:

1. Movie is totally about the Scouting program. 2. Movie features Scouts or Scouting in a major way. 3. Movie refers to Scouts (i.e. main character was a Scout when a youth, story background, etc.). 4. Movie refers to Scouts in another way. ( i.e. background material for plot).

Rather than try to classify the movies that you suggested, I will leave that up to each of you.

Thank you all for your contribution to this month's column!

As you will see, Scouting movies follow many different patterns or themes. There are movies produced by the BSA in the early days of the movement meant to catch the public's interest, a series of movie shorts that were shown between features in the movie houses in the 1930's through the 1950's all the way to the epics of today.

36 ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2005 UPDATE ON CSP GUIDE

Many of you have been asking about a 2005 CSP Guide. By the time this article gets published it should be available through many of the Scouting Memorabilia Dealers! This year's edition will feature some significant upgrades to the guide which include:

1) Value changes throughout to reflect consistency with quantity made (post-1985 issues) and updates to earlier issues based on recent market activity 2) Minor range differences in some issues have been combined into one listing for that patch and a RANGE description of where minor color and size differences exist 3) Values dropped from all FOS issues listed and replaced with an FOS designation for fairer trading on these issues 4) New issues added which were known to exist as of December 31,2004.

Hope that the changes will meet with your approval! Let me know once you get a copy of the guide.

Next issue I will dedicate the column to the special issue CSPs that have come out this year for Cub Scouting's 75 th anniversary and BSA's 95 th anniversary.

Now on to the new issues reported and discovered this past quarter ...
