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.
