ISCA JOURNAL - SEPTEMBER 2016 3 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

It has been a quiet time for ISCA these past several months - there have been no BIG events like a Jamboree or National OA Conference to get ready for and/or participate in. There has, however been a lot of work going on in the background concerning the OA Insignia Guide (OAIG), previously known as Blue Book or Blue Book 2.0, the CSI (Council Shoulder Insignia) Guidebook and the Camp Images Website as well as the ISCA website. Craig Leighty President After a lot of work by the ISCA OA Insignia Standards Committee, and the OA Insignia Steering Committee, we are nearing the final stages of releasing the new rules. Yes, we know that it has taken a lot longer than desired, but with the work being that has been done solely by volunteers, we feel that what is being developed will really benefit the hobby and it will have been well worth the wait. Please check the ISCA website (ScoutTrader.org) and the OA Insignia website (OAInsignia.com) for the latest details. But, a couple of points are worth mentioning – lodges will be updated (all of the issues over the last 10 years since Blue Book 6 was issued) and possibly the renumbering of issues going back as needed ONLY if a lodge editor has been appointed/approved to make the changes. So, if you are knowledgeable about a particular lodge’s issues, then volunteer to become a lodge editor (sign-up information and a listing of current editors is on the ISCA website).

For the CSI Guidebook, we’re still trying to figure out if we can offer an electronic version or if the next release will only be a hardcopy update. We should have more information in the December Journal and/or on the ISCA website.

There has been a lot of trade-o-rees this year already and there are a lot scheduled for this Fall. As mentioned in the last ISCA Journal, ISCA has decided to use the “bsator.com” website for Trade-o-ree listings and information. It’s a great website and allows you to search for trade- o-rees and in many cases, even sign up to go and/or reserve a table. You can also find a link to both ISCA and the ISCA Store on this website in addition to being able to access the ISCA Store through the ISCA website or eBay (ISCAOnlineStore).

A while back, we announced that we had a free sample download of a Journal for non- members so that they could see what we were all about. It’s still there available on the ISCA website homepage, so please spread the word to non-members.

And finally, we would like to congratulate Mr. Bill Loeble and recognize him as the 2016 recipient of the ISCA Scouting Memorabilia Distinguished Service Award. Bill has a long and distinguished career with over 60 years in Scouting. Congratulations, Bill, and don’t forget to read more about Bill’s distinguished career below.

2016 ISCA Distinguished Service Award

The ISCA Board is pleased to announce that Bill Loeble is the 2016 receipent of the ISCA Distinguished Service Award. Bill began an uninterrupted Scouting trek over 60 years ago. In that time the trail led to Eagle Scout with ten palms and a total of 78 merit badges. Along the way he has received the following awards and recognitions – OA Vigil Honor, OA Founders Awards, OA Distinguished Service Award, Scouter’s Key, Woodbadge trained, James E. West Fellow, Distinguished Commissioner, God and Country (youth & adult), Philmont Master Track Award, Ph.D. in Commissioner Science, District Award of Merit, Silver Beaver, and Silver Antelope. His service to the Order of the Arrow includes Lodge Adviser for four years, Section Adviser for ten years, and Southern Region Chairman for five years. He currently serves on the Atlanta Area Council Executive Board, Southern Region Executive Board, National OA Committee, and National Scout Museum Committee.

Bill’s passion for collecting began at the 1960 National Jamboree. He has an OA number, name collection, and specializes in council shoulder insignia. He has the largest RWS collection and the largest CSP Collection that includes over 20,000 different pieces. He has been VP – activities for ISCA for two terms and an author / editor of several publications on memorabilia collecting. His current priority is generating interest in Scouting history and memorabilia among the younger generation of Scouts. Bill is the retired CEO of Beaver Manufacturing Company in Mansfield, Georgia. He and his wife of 49 years have a son, daughter, and four grandchildren. His son is an Eagle Scout.

ISCA JOURNAL - SEPTEMBER 2016 5 CANDIDATE BIOS VP - COMMUNICATIONS

Jim Ellis: I have been the editor of the ISCA Journal for the last 15 years and the Vice President - Communications for most of that period. For over 23 years I was the co-editor of An Aid To Collecting Selected Council Shoulder Insignia with Valuation Guide responsible for design and distribution. Currently, I am a member of LaSalle Council where I serve as the Algonquian District Chairman, on the Council’s Executive Board, as Council’s Jamboree Committee Chairman, and their Philmont Ambassador.

BOARD MEMBERS

Kirk Doan: I am Kirk Doan and am running for re-election as a Board Member at large. I am an Eagle Scout (1967), Vigil Honor (1970), past Lodge Chief of 108 Wakosha (1969-71), Lodge Advisor of Tamegonit 147 (1983-1992) (currently the largest lodge in the country), and Mic-O-Say warrior. I have attended 21 NOAC’s, and worked on staff for 2007 and 2011 World Jamborees, scoutmaster or staff at several US Jamborees including 2013 (stamp collecting MB). One of my sons is an Eagle, and I have served many volunteer positions, including Cubmaster and Post Advisor, each for 5 years. I am an attorney with a national law firm practicing business health law. I collect many areas of Scout memorabilia, have a comprehensive OA collection, was a charter member of the Society of Scout Memorabilia Dealers, and am a stamp collector and dealer. I was the Blue Book Editor for the 60 Lodges that made up the old Regions 8 & 10, wrote one of the earliest CSP price guides, and have a comprehensive website at kirkdoan.com. I received the ISCA Distinguished Service Award in 2015. I am supporting ISCA’s commitment to digital access to memorabilia information.

Brian Ives: Brian Ives is an Eagle Scout and member of the Order of the Arrow. His scouting career started as a Tiger Cub where he earned the Arrow of Light award as a Cub Scout and later earning Scouting’s top rank of Eagle Scout at 14 years old. Brian stayed active as a youth scout going on many camping trips, holding different leadership positions, and earning a total of 105 Merit Badges. As an adult, Brian has continued to stay active in Scouting. He volunteered as a staff member at the 2013 Jamboree working the Collections Merit Badge / ISCA booth and he will serve in that same position again for the 2017 Jamboree. Brian first learned about Trade-O-Ree’s in his early 20’s. Since then, he has enjoyed attending Trade- O-Ree’s from coast to coast. It has been fun buying, selling, and trading Boy Scout memorabilia and the fellowship with others at each event. Brian has developed many websites that benefit scouting memorabilia collectors. One of them being a newly designed Trade-O-Ree website: www.bsator.com. He also sends Scouting Memorabilia Newsletters featuring the BEST Scouting Memorabilia on eBay 3 times per week. Brian has been an active ISCA member for years and just recently filled a vacant position on the ISCA board. He is excited to be working with ISCA in various ways.

Tod Johnson: My name is Tod Johnson and I am once again running to be your ISCA Membership Chair - taking care of the needs of new and returning members when your ISCA memberships come up for renewal. From 2009 to 2014, I had the added responsibilities of not only being your Membership Chairman but that of an ISCA Executive VP as your Finance VP involved with all activities within ISCA that involved monetary transactions. This was a challenging time for the organization as we transitioned to our current operating model. Thankfully, your Executive Team was able to ensure the ongoing health and purpose of the organization with this re-structure almost 5 years ago. With that being said, I wanted to take a bit of a reduced role with ISCA and felt I could and still can support the Membership areas of ISCA. Being a long time Scouter of over 40 years, an Eagle Scout, Vigil Honor, Founders recipient and recently an OA Centurian with 4 Eagle sons, (2 are Vigil, 1 is now a Professional), I have been a Lodge Adviser, both NOAC and National Jamboree staff member, and maintain a local, mobile Scouting Museum to teach our Scouting youth and adults, Maintaining your Membership needs is still a passion of mine and I ask for your vote of confidence for re-election. Thank you ISCA Members.

Dave Pede: I am running for re-election to the ISCA Board. Since Sept of 2011 I have taken over the responsibilities and maintenance of the ScoutTrader.org website. My entire career has been in Information Technology software development, so I am well suited for this.. I have been collecting since I went to the 1973 Jamboree and in that time have built one of the most complete Illinois OA collections around. I have served as a regional/national editor for the Blue Book project since 1998 and on many Jamboree and NOAC staffs.

This Quarter’s Featured Museum When I let my curiosity get the better of me over a year ago, and started searching for a list of Scouting museums, I never dreamed what a fascinating road that I was going down. I appreciate all of the feedback that I received from the great Scouters on patch-L. Thanks to their input I made several corrections and additions to my list of museums. I would like to thank Chris Jensen for posting a modified version of the museum list on the Streamwood website (www.streamwood.net). If you want the whole list with all the gory details just drop me an email and I will be glad to send the list to you. I still welcome any corrections or additions to the list. I am told that there have been articles in past Journals on the National Scouting Museum, the Las Vegas Scouting Museum, the museum in Raton, and the Lee Museum in New Hampshire. I have enjoyed getting to know more about some great Scouting museums through emails and visits to web sites. I also have started a Scouting museum patch collection. Now I face the arduous task of visiting Scouting museums as I travel, I know it’s a “dirty job” but someone needs to do it. Below is a brief tour The building was originally built in 1950 as the camp through the first of many museums that I hope to visit. administration building and was the first new building built on the newly established D-bar-A Scout Ranch. After decades of Thomas D.

The pride and joy of the collection is a beautiful Eagle Feather War Bonnet (crafted by Dr. Bob Finedut) that you see when you walk in the door. Yes, there is proper certification in the case with the bonnet showing that the eagle feathers are registered and legal. There is also a nice display of other Native American artifacts as well. Little kids that visit the museum are fascinated by the large display case of neckerchief slides. Many of the slides in the collection are hand carved. There is a nice display of historic Scouting (BSA & GSA) uniforms as well as a case full of vintage Scouting equipment. I was especially impressed with an awesome display of old and unusual compasses. For those of us that are patch hounds there is an abundance of patches on display. Items from National and World Jamborees and also BSA High Adventure Bases are in the collection. There are also lots of council camp patches and neckerchiefs on display. It is a great collection although I am told there are still some gaps to be filled. Frame after frame of patches from events of historic districts of the predecessor councils are interesting to flip through. There are displays of patches from the current OA lodge and its predecessor lodges, plus lots of other Order of the Arrow items.

The statue was moved to its present location from the Charles Howell Scout Reservation when it was closed in the 1980’s.

14 ISCA JOURNAL - SEPTEMBER 2016 RWS Types & Classic Council Memorabilia Update and Idaho Panhandle Hat Shaped Patches

By Welcome to the first installment of RWS Types & Classic Council Memorabilia. This column expands Frank Kern upon Blake Keasey’s long running “Looking for Red and Whites”, which was a focal point of my reading ISCA #1621 for several years. I am honored to succeed Blake and hope that I live up to his reputation and quality [email protected] of work.

With the change in authorship, I am installing a new charter for this column. I will continue Blake’s classic format of reporting RWS types not listed in the latest CSI guide, which includes all color combinations in full, half, and quarter strip sizes. In this category, I will communicate newly discovered council, district, military, USA – abroad city strips, and special topic RWS types. I will also report type 1 vs. type 2 RWS and other varieties not listed on RWS Registry (www.rwsregistry.com). In addition, I will expand this column to report pre-1970 council memorabilia not listed in Arapaho I. Finally, I will report findings of badges made by long merged councils that did not make CPs, RWS types, or CSPs – expanding upon my ‘BSA Council Name Patch List’. Per standard operating procedures, I will not report CSP or JSP issues; these updates will be reported through Steve Austin’s regular column.

To kick things off, I have summarized key collecting resources that every ‘classic’ council collector should own. These are provided below with an overview of each. While there are many other references, these are the ‘critical’ publications that report a majority of the known pre-1970 council information vs. a summary of modern data. Arapaho I: A History of Scouting Through Insignia: By Albertus Hoogeveen & Richard Breithaupt, Jr.

This is what started it all with a first printing in 1976 and the final edition released in the mid-1980’s. All editions included listings of CP’s, RWS, CSPs, and USA jamboree items. To date, it is the only publication that provides a comprehensive listing of odd shape council patches (CP’s) and jamboree council patches (JCP’s/JSP’s). Depending on the printing, region patches, OA chenilles, NOAC issues, OA sashes, collar brass, and position insignia were also catalogued. Since it was published well before email and social media, image sharing was limited. As a result, there are several reported issues that do not actually exist. These ‘phantom’ issues have found their way into several other publications. As time goes on, this column will attempt to compile a list of phantom issues published in this essential reference.

Red & White Council Shoulder Patches: By Art Hyman & Rob Kutz

Rob and Art compile THE ultimate RWS baseline reference that was eventually expanded and reprinted by Bruce Raver, then later by Blake Keasey for inclusion in the CSI guide. As with Arapaho I, the original guide was compiled before email and well before social media, so image sharing was limited. As a result, there are several reported issues that do not actually exist. These ‘phantom’ issues also appeared in Bruce Raver’s update and in early editions of the CSI guide. As time goes on, this column will attempt to compile a list of phantom issues published in this early reference.

RWS Registry: By Larry Kelley, Frank Kern, and Blake Keasey

This is the most complete listing of all RWS published anywhere. Larry Kelley, the ultimate RWS collector, expanded on the RWS listings to include all known type-1, type-2, and “N-tag” varieties. Few of these varieties are listed in the CSI guide. I expanded Larry’s list to a web site and worked with him to post photos of each issue and variety. Yes… photos are provided for each! Blake helped fill in scans for the missing items. At this time, only red and white full strips are listed, but we are working to add all other RWS categories. This online resource is posted at http://www.rwsregistry.com

BSA Council ‘Name’ Patch List: By Frank Kern

This is the key reference for council ‘name’ collectors. This online reference lists all councils known to have issued a patch that features their name as part of the design. Badges are identified as RWS type, CP, CSP, activity issue, etc. A PDF version of this document can be downloaded from: http://www.oaflap.com/kern_council_name_list.pdf

An Aid to Collecting Select Council Shoulder Insignia 2014: By Blake Keasey & Steve Austin

This is the definitive guide for collecting all shoulder patches (except for select JSP’s). For the RWS type listings, Blake added to each of the key categories – with significant expansion to the KRHS listing. With the 2014 guide, Blake made a serious attempt to remove ‘phantom’ issues. Since it is difficult to prove that something does not exist, this was a daunting task. Those items removed

ISCA JOURNAL - SEPTEMBER 2016 15 in error will eventually be found and added back to the listing. In some cases, ‘phantom’ issues remain; however, these issues will eventually be identified and removed to ensure a correct listing. Your feedback is requested for identifying these issues to improve the accuracy of this essential publication. Corrections to the 2014 publication are provided in Table #1:

The Nor’westers Region XI Checklist: By Dana Bonstrom and Frank Kern

This guide provided a listing of all Region XI OA and council listings. It was the basis for Arapaho II and Blue Book’s Region 11 OA issues. It is one of the few publications to catalog OA, CP’s, JCP’s, JSP’s, RWS types, etc. It was first printed in 1986 with the final edition released in the early 1990’s.

Now that the ‘paper work’ is out of the way, let’s get to the business of reporting new issues. This issue, we have several undocumented ‘classics’ to report.

Council Issues

Of the many new finds listed in Table #2, this report has several stand-out issues. The NORTHERN NEW MEXICO/ COUNCIL partial gauze back RWS was reported about 5 years ago in Blake’s column… however, a newly found, a type-1 RWS was uncovered from this killer council name. To date, I have identified only two examples of this strip. Another interesting find is ‘THE NETHERLANDS/

16 ISCA JOURNAL - SEPTEMBER 2016 THE HAGUE’. This is a felt RWS with unusual embroidery for the lettering. I found this RWS at an estate sale along with a Quilshan 325 X1, which helps date issuance to the early 1950’s. I am only aware of two other examples of this strange issue. Two KRHS from Chattanooga Area Council were uncovered; one featuring the word ‘Area’ and the other without. This council existed under both name varieties with Chattanooga Council chartered from 1918-1925 and Chattanooga Area chartered from 1925-44. Due to the early name change, it is likely that both strips were issued by Chattanooga Area Council. Recently, eBay featured several Puerto Rico Council issues with ‘silky’ embroidery. I warn the collector base to authenticate these issues prior to investing anything beyond a 1 for 1 trade.

Council Name Discoveries: In this report, I have two new council names to report. First is Central South Dakota Council, which was chartered from 1928-1942 as a predecessor to Pheasant Council. Next is Philippines Council. As can be seen from the KRHS and membership card in the photo gallery, the strip was likely used for council identification vs. country identification.

Featured Council Patches Being an avid council patch collector from the PNW, I am regularly asked about the issues and varieties of the Idaho Panhandle Council ‘hat’ shaped patches. Arapaho I pictures a subset of those issued, but provides an incorrect issue sequence and is missing key items. A summary of the issues is given in table #5 with each shown in the photo gallery. I have provided the correct issue sequence with the Arapaho I catalog number in the adjacent column.

There are three primary designs of these classic hat patches. First is a red cut edge issue with yellow twill for the Boy Scout program. Next, there is a blue cut edge hat with yellow twill for cub scouts. Finally, there is a white twill issue with a red cut edge for the Explorer program. Furthermore, there are 3 series of these patches: 1) Early 1960’s with a detailed tree. After 35 years of searching, I have not identified an Explorer color combination with a detailed tree. For this reason, I do not believe it exists. Note that the Cub Scout color combination in this series is extremely scarce and is one of the top ‘hat’ shape council patches. 2) Mid 1960’s-early 1970’s issue with a crude tree design. The Explorer issue with blue snow caps on the mountain peaks from this series is very rare. Multiple varieties exist of the Cub and Scout issues. To simplify listings, I strike two varieties of each: cloth vs. plastic backing 3) Mid 1970’s to early 1990’s. These issues feature ‘BSA’ and a plastic backing. Once again, there is no identified Explorer issue in this category and all issues have a plastic backing.

Next issue: In my next issue, I plan to share scans of half strips featuring the names of both a community and state. If you have any of these, or have discovered other un-documented council issues, please send me scans of your finds with details. If possible, please provide a scan of the patch on a white background at 300 DPI. All contributors will credited for their assistance.

The planning for the Twelfth World Jamboree began with the Region 1 – 44 Region 7 – 80 passing of the torch at the closing ceremony of the Eleventh Region 2 – 69 Region 8 – 36 World Jamboree: Marathon, Greece in 1963. The Boy Scouts of Region 3 – 51 Region 9 – 35 America International Relationship Service established various Region 4 – 36 Region 10 –16 committees to coordinate with the World Bureau (WOSM) in Region 5 – 32 Region 11 – 29 preparation for the event. A letter to all Scouting Organizations’ Region 6 – 38 Region 12 – 52 International Commissioners was sent July 26, 1966 inviting Extra Region – 4 participation in the 12th World Jamboree. The first official press announcement of the Twelfth World Jamboree was July 29, 1965, The Host Corps had one troop in every sub-camp (10) and one with the World Jamboree Bulletin # 1 dated August 25, 1965. troop in the GHQ, for a total of eleven Host Corps Troops. The The site chosen was Farragut State Park in northern Idaho, near allocation had some Troops consisting of more than one region, Coeur d’Alene, and twelve unnamed sub-camps, each holding 1296 participants, were proposed.

On August 29, 1966, the Boy Scouts of America sent a list of the assignment of the USA Troops allocated by Regions with their sub-camp and Troop number to Jamboree leaders and Councils. It is worth noting that the number of sub-camps for participants was reduced to ten and were named after the previous World Jamboree locations, with the exception of Sutton Park, which was the arena name. The sub- camp names were as follows:

Olympia Makiling Arrowe Park Marathon Godollo Bad Ischl Moisson Ermelunden Niagara on the Lake Vogelenzang

Each sub-camp could hold about 1750 participants and had one BSA Host Corps Troop per sub-camp. In 1967 there were 12 Regions plus the three foreign- based councils – Transatlantic, Far East and Direct Service. As published in the February 1966 Scouting Magazine, the Troop allocations were based on Scout and Explorer membership.

Region 1 – 7 Region 7 – 15 Region 2 – 12 Region 8 – 8 Region 3 – 12 Region 9 – 9 Region 4 – 8 Region 10 – 4 Region 5 – 8 Region 11 – 6 Region 6 – 9 Region 12 – 13 Extra Region – 3

22 ISCA JOURNAL - SEPTEMBER 2016 Collecting Camp Patches Mystery Patch Contest Results

By The Mystery Patch Contest (MPC) from the June, 2016 ISCA Journal is Bob Sherman now history. I wish I could report that ISCA 0091 every patch shown has been identified [email protected] but alas, that is not the case. How- ever, I do appreciate all who took the time to share their expertise and identified whatever they could.

I would like to thank Courtney Grosz, John Hoffman, Randy Holden, Jeff Jones, Ryan Meader, Philip Mulvihill, Matt Perryn, Bob Rudd and Bruce Shelley for submitting entries in the contest. There was some duplication but I liked having this duplication as that confirmed the accuracy of the identification. If I left anyone out, please contact me although I tried to be very careful not to let that happen.

The winner of the MPC was Bruce Shelley and his prize for winning was a 1948 felt patch that hopefully he does not already have in his 1948 collection. Although the MPC is officially over, if anyone can ID any of the patches, I would be most grateful and will publish the ID’s in a future column. I was able to acquire a 1921 patch from CAMP SENECA of Elmira Council in NY at the great Allentown TOR.

Boy Scout camping took place at a location presently known as Bates Point that was known as Scoutland and was used by the Troops in the District that included the towns of Webster, Dudley and Oxford, MA. Dave heard that the Bates Point area was offered to Worcester Area Council to create a Scout Camp but the cost factors and the fact they had a well-functioning camp at Treasure Valley in Paxton, MA caused the Council to decline the offer. Eventually the area was commercially developed. There also was CAMP MONSEY, a Girl Scout Camp that operated in the 1950’s and 60’s on one of the islands in the Lake.

The Scout Patch Auction (TPSA) recently acquired the Freitag Museum out of Buf- falo, New York. With the purchase came a unique set of glass lantern slides depicting the first twenty-five years of Scouting in Buffalo. DeAnna Freitag, wife of museum curator Paul, recovered these as they were about to be thrown out during a council office move in 1984. These were used for the Scouting promo- tion back in the 1930s before the advent of slides or movies. Paul mentioned there was a script that went along with the slides. Because of their special tie-in to Greater Niagara Fron- tier Council, TSPA donated the whole set to the council’s museum. They, along with other memorabilia from the area are on display at the council office and can be visited during normal council hours.

Lawrence, himself, reported, “the view was spectacular.” But the others would have to take his word for it because his images did not develop properly. The lousy news would not end.

His information came from Ken Kittelberger, a long time Black Eagle member who has tried to keep up with Tipisa Lodge 326 has put their lodge box online and has begun the lodge issues over the years. The grand total was 48 items, taking orders for their 2017 patches. Available are their standard listed in the accompanying table. flap ($5 each, minimum of two) and a set of eight patches for $37. The set includes their year patch, a Jamboree 2017 flap, 3 Chenilles and six event patches. Ordered patches can be picked up at lodge events and in that case the buyer will receive a refund 3 Neckerchiefs for shipping. It was not clear if patches ordered now would be 5 Arrowheads shipped in May or immediately when available. This plan looks like another innovation in the continual push by the BSA and OA 3 Flap/CSP sets lodges to raise revenue by selling patches. 3 Event patches 4 Flap/Round sets Mikano Lodge 231, now merged away, gave new Arrowmen a wood totem carved to look like the distinctive, long-necked, large 2 Rounds turtle mound found on the grounds of their camp, Indian Mound 6 Flaps Scout Reservation.

We Amangamek Wipit Lodge 470 is not one to miss an opportunity repeat their news to produce patches, such as the OA centennial year and NOAC here to prove again, in 2015. We traded for what looked like a new standard flap like the chicken crossing the road, that finding good items can from this lodge and asked member Aaron Bishop if he could be done. First was Mike DeLeo, tell us something about it. The CR code on the back said only a recent Chief of Wulapeju Lodge 300 were made, which seemed low for a lodge with thousands 140 who found a group of patches of members. Aaron told us this was the 470s156 and that the at an estate sale near Rockford, red/white split background was the idea of the lodge historian Illinois.

The total was the three patch set mentioned above, three additional flaps with black/white/red sash design, and four two-piece sets (14 patches).

In late June we followed the eBay auction of a NOAC 2015 two-piece set from Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge 34 that sold for $115. Bill Mulrenin posted about this set in his excellent blog about New York OA, reporting that only 100 of the sets were made. The chevron part of the set carried the OA centennial logo and the lodge did not make a separate centennial flap. So everyone attempting to get an OA centennial flap or set from each lodge needed this set, driving up demand in the face of the short supply. The flap of this set makes no reference to NOAC or the centennial, so it could be
