CHAIRMAN’S & PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Sixth ISCA Convention and Dallas Trade-O-Ree: ISCA held its 6th Annual Convention in Dallas in conjunction with the 31st Dallas Trade- o-ree in January. The Convention and Trade-O-Ree was very well attended with people coming from all over the country. An ISCA Board meeting was held prior to the Trade-o-ree and a total of six workshops were held during the Trade-o-ree. A special thank you to the presenters of the workshops: Craig Leighty and Terry Grove for an open session on ISCA and questions and answers about the pre-NOAC Trade-o-ree, Bob Hannah on High Adventure & World Jamboree Memorabilia, Mike Gosling on International Scouting national flags and membership Terry Grove badges, Terry Grove on the Eagle Scout award and Roy More on Scout Craig Leighty Chairman patches and memorabilia as an investment. Ron Aldridge and Dave President Thomas hosted the TOR and did a wonderful job of including ISCA.

2009 Pre-NOAC Trade-O-Ree: As mentioned in the December Journal, after some long discussions and negotiations, ISCA and the National Committee of the Order of the Arrow came to an agreement that the Pre- NOAC TOR will be held on the campus of Indiana University this year. The Trade-O-Ree will be considered part of the program activities of NOAC on Saturday, August 1st, the first day of NOAC. Arriving contingents are also encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the Trade-O-Ree on Thursday and Friday before the opening of NOAC and a memorabilia auction on Wednesday evening. Look elsewhere in the Journal (and on the ISCA website) for details about attending and how to obtain tables.

2009 NOAC ISCA Activities: Also as mentioned in the December Journal, ISCA will be involved in a number of activities and will need volunteers to help staff these activities. Please visit the ISCA website to sign up to volunteer. If you have questions, please contact Jef Heckinger at [email protected] or (815) 965-2121.

ISCA Board Meeting: During the Board meeting, Doug Krutilek, Executive VP Finance, submitted his resignation due to health problems and Tod Johnson was appointed to fill his term for the remainder of the year. We would like to thank Doug for his years of service to ISCA and the hobby and also welcome Tod on board.

Also, during the ISCA Board meeting, the financial and membership reports helped all board members understand that ISCA needs to re-evaluate the flow of monies into and out of the organization and how our various categories of memberships can also have an impact on us financially. As a board, we have determined, if we are to continue to be able to represent the hobby in the many areas that we do, and to be able to provide the information that we do in the high quality magazine that we produce, then we need to re-evaluate and subsequently re-structure our membership and financial practices. One of the more difficult discussions is centered on the life membership category of membership in ISCA. Over 50% of our membership is a life member and at this point, almost all life members of ISCA have long passed the point where what they paid for membership covers the cost of membership. This means that life members are essentially receiving a hard copy of the ISCA Journal for free and it is apparent that ISCA can not afford to do that any longer. So a very hard look at membership, and the associated benefits of membership will need to be completed.

One suggestion that has been put on the table is a tiered membership structure. A modest amount for membership, which gives the member access to the website and any special opportunities at ISCA sponsored Trade-o-rees throughout the year. The second tier would include the first tier and have an additional modest amount that would get the member access to special sections of the website and special opportunities AND would give them access to a password protected Quarterly Journal electronically that could either be downloaded and/or viewed from the website. The third tier would include the first two tiers, but would also include an additional cost to cover providing the Journal four times a year in hard copy format through the mail. Some have suggested just two tiers, one including a hard copy of the Journal and one that did not.

If you have other ideas and/or comments on this idea, please contact either Craig or Terry immediately. Discussions are already in process and we want to make sure we understand everyone’s concerns in any decisions that we would end up making. We have set a goal to have a revised structure in place prior to the Pre-NOAC Trade-o-ree.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Pre-NOAC Trade-o-ree and helping out on ISCA activities at NOAC this summer.

ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2009 9 Roosevelt Pilgrimage Ceremonies and Memorabilia

In November 1920 National Scout Commissioner Dan Beard started a tradition by leading Scouts to the grave of Chief Scout Citizen Theodore Roosevelt. Identified as a national activity for Scouts within a 100-mile radius of New York City, its success led James E. West to make it an annual BSA event. West, keen on effective public relations, saw it another way to highlight the Boy Scouts of America in the pages of the country’s newspapers. The pilgrimages continued through 1953.

Beard himself led the pilgrimages until 1940, helping to raise national awareness of the event. Even the founder of worldwide Scouting, Robert Baden-Powell, and the Prince of Wales – eventually to be crowned King Edward VIII of Great Britain– attended in the 1920s.

Roosevelt was “my loyal friend for many, many years,” Beard told TR’s widow, Edith, in January 1919. “His splendid patriotism, his Americanism, his sincerity and his magnificent manhood served as an inspiration to the men [and boys] of America.”

Beard was inspired to create American-themed observations in honor of Roosevelt. Among them were the Invocation, the singing of “America,” Beard’s patriotic remarks, the recitation of the Scout Oath, the placement of a special memorial wreath at Roosevelt’s gravesite, followed by a prayer and “Taps,” blown by a Scout bugler (eventually with buglers stationed at the four corners of the site).

By the mid-1930s, ceremonies had been added remembering other great Scouters. The Ceremony of the Roses was a roll call for the last of the great frontier scouts and buckskin men who had died, as well as those in the BSA National Council who would “lead the way” for all the others. Rose petals were tossed into the air by a Scout while the names of the deceased were recited, with responses corresponding to the man’s position in the Scouting movement. For instance: “Absent at the command of the Great Scoutmaster to attend the Grand Council on the other side of the Great Divide.”

The Indian Ceremony consisted of “Taps” blown by buglers to the four winds of the earth (north, south east and west), beseeching the “Great Mystery,” “Mother Earth,” and “Father Sky” to grant wisdom, safety, and good camping.

Beginning no later than the Sixth Pilgrimage in 1925, those attending received various keepsakes throughout the years. In the early Pilgrimages, these were the five inch long by two inch wide red ribbons that were pinned above the uniform’s left shirt pocket. By the 1930s, the ribbons were replaced by the well-known Roosevelt Pilgrimage button pins, sized at one and a quarter inches in diameter. Beard’s rationale was that such an item “will serve not only as a souvenir, but as a means of identifying the boys themselves as being members of the Pilgrimage.” Additionally, Beard’s staff members had their own distinctive arm insignia

Other Pilgrimage memorabilia included copies of the printed programs as well as the numerous photographs taken by the press or by the thousands of attendees over the years, some of which were printed in the pages of Scouting throughout the 1930s and 1940s.

by NEIL LARSEN • ISCA # 0086L

Continuing from my last few articles (about World Jamboree special awards that could be earned by attending youth and/or adults). I am covering the next two World Jamborees in the 1980’s, the 15th World Jamboree 1983 held in Alberta, Canada and the 16th World Jamboree 1987-88 held in New South Wales, Australia.

1983 World Jamboree Award

The 15th World Jamboree did not have any official awards. There were various activity badges, ‘Canadian Rockies,’ Elektron, IBM and a few more. The only other special item was the yellow program passport, ‘Passport to Adventure’ in a special plastic holder, in which ink stamp impressions were collected indicating participation in the various program activities, national contingent headquarters visits and other events. The jamboree had a traditional jamboree Wide Game on Sunday July 10th prior to church service. The Jamboree Wide Game had Scouts spelling out “FRIENDS-AMIS” with letters. Once the group was formed they moved to the ceremony area to attend a Scout’s Own (church service) and get two special stamps in their passport for the friendship game and Scout’s Own. This passport booklet was

in meal exchanges and jamboree activities. The actual award was different for youth and leaders. The youth award was a leather woggle with a cloisonné pin and the leader award was an embroidered badge. Both awards depicted the scouting fleur- de-lis in green and gold, representing Australia’s colours, a map of Australia representing 200 years (1788-1988) of Australia’s history and two hands symbolic of the brotherhood of scouting including the jamboree theme ‘BRINGING THE WORLD TOGETHER’.

like a souvenir autograph book to hold a record of what activities were done and friends made at the jamboree.

A badge which many collectors think is the official Wide Game badge is a white twill green cut edge arch with FRIENDS-AMIS in red. This badge was a privately produced badge and is not official.

1987-88 World Jamboree Awards

Once again the 16th World Jamboree had an award with basic requirements that were similar to the previous 1963, 1967 and 1971 awards. A World Jamboree participant’s award was available for youth members and leaders. Every participant was issued a special tri-fold paper Activity Passport scorecard (top right) with instructions and a list of the requirements. The compulsory component required each participant to have actively participated in 4 hours of jamboree service.

by BLAKE KEASEY • ISCA # 0084 L

I am always somewhat relieved when I have a new RWS to report. This time it is WATCHUNG AREA/COUNCIL (123/) RWS. It has a much longer Council name than the more common and previously reported Watchung Area/Council (112/).

It has been quite a while (June 2006) since a new strip has surfaced. The BOULDER DAM/COUNCIL/NEVADA BWS is the fourth one from that Council, but the first one to include the state name.

Four more ½-strips have emerged. The 2 khaki and red ones are PINE BURR AREA 1/2KR and PINELLAS AREA 1/2RW. The LAND O’ LAKES 1/2RW is a variation of the previously reported one that did not have an apostrophe. It was also found within a grouping of other patches from Michigan thus suggesting it is from the Council in Michigan rather than the city in Florida. The FORT HAMILTON 1/2RW comes from an Ohio Council with a very obscure RWS (only 2 known).

The 1 new military base strip (mbs) is K.I. SAWYER A.F.B./353/MICH. It is an atypical shape (pie slice), but is the correct color combination, has the appropriate wording, and was clearly designed to be worn at the top of the left sleeve.

There is also an unusual shape among the new USA/ABR patches. The DACA/EAST PAKISTAN RWS is the first USA/ABR patch to turn up that is in the full-size format rather than either the ¼ or ½ formats. The CAIRO EGYPT UAR 1/2RW is an interesting patch. It was issued by the United Arab Republic (Egypt and Syria) during the 3-year period of it existence (1958-1961). There are 4 new ¼-strips to report. The NETH 1/4RW is a variation of the more common one with a period. The new one from Morocco has 10 mm letters as compared to the more common 1 with 12 mm letters. Consequently it will be designated as MOR. 1/4RW (10 mm letters). Both are pictured so the letter size difference will be apparent. There may be an endless number of Japan 1/4RW that were made in theater (mit). These 2 look very different. As the 1 with the smaller letters is solidly embroidered it will be designated as JAPAN 1/4RW (solid) and the other will be termed JAPAN 1/4RW (mit - 12mm letters).

The following eight 1/4RW are not in any of the major collections – Australia, Formosa, Hong Kong, Iwo Jima, Norway, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam. So if you have any of them, then please report them so they can be moved off the unconfirmed list.

In terms of interesting and/or funny community strips (cms), we have Bald Creek, Bent Creek, Burnt Creek, Fishkill, Heartland, and Speculator.

Special thanks go to the following contributors; Gene Berman, Jim Ellis, Dan Graham, Chris Jensen, Larry Kelley, Bill Loeble, Roy More, Paul and Joe Snider, John Williams, and Kirk and Josh Williams.

One of the other great items that I acquired in my acquisition that I described in my last column was what I believe to be a 1917 Boy Scout Troop Flag along with many other great artifacts of the early days of Scouting from Scoutmaster Clyde Ford including his early Scoutmaster Warrant, adult membership cards, early Scout manuals and many rare combination rank patches. The flag measures 35" by 21" and is made out of cotton bunting. The 1924 Scouting Magazine Equipment Issue shows a similar cotton flag that sold for $1.10. The upper half of the flag was red and the lower half was white. The official badge design was superimposed in the middle of the flag in gold over

Rick had been looking for a “trek cart” for his museum and his daughter recently found an old, deteriorated one up in Ohio. He sent me a picture of it and it is one of the most unusual pieces of Boy Scout memorabilia (it ranks up there with the Boy Scout light bulb and the Boy Scout sardines) that I have seen in the past several years. He is currently looking for an old Boy Scout plow from World War One like “The World of Scouting Museum” in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania has in their vast collection. Like many of us in the hobby know, Rick will certainly discover that the search is more exciting than the find!

Brad also reports that Pachachaug 525 has issued a red border odd shape at their Lodge Officer Training Conference (LOTC) for attendees (70 made). There is also a silver border of this badge for staff (30 made).

John Hoffman wrote us last fall to report that he had acquired the Scouting memorabilia estate of George Chapman, the first Chief of Unami 1, taking office in November 1915. The collection includes Mr. Chapman’s membership cards from 1914-1917, as well as National Council cards from the 1940s. There were numerous OA handbooks including a signed copy of the 1948 edition and a Proof edition of 1948 dedicated to the SECT Vigil Honor (also signed). The group also included an early Philadelphia Christmas card, Philadelphia Council books from 1917 and 1935, photographs of Mr. Chapman and the OA National Committee at the 1950 NOAC.
