ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2010 9 Scouting For Fun by Todd Hatfield ISCA # 0035

When I started several years ago, gathering Scouting related Comics, Cartoons and other fun stuff, I never imagined the extent Boy Scouting has become ingrained in our society. I know BSA has been around for almost 100 years and a lot of people have been in the program for at least a short period of time. However until you see a cartoon on TV who’s whole program is devoted to summer camp (1) (in a Boy Scout like setting), or read the Sunday paper and find a commentary on life through the eyes of a cartoon Scout Leader (2), or maybe as your walking with your children in your local toy store and come across a blister pack with a Scout like figurine (3) ready to take out an play with. That is when you (1) Left: Camp Lazlo © Cartoon start to see so many things are relating to Scouting in some form or Network Cartoon Network Block Party another. It is amazing really. Published by DC Comics (2) Above: Peanuts tm United Feature I’ll use a famous quote to show you where I’m headed with this, Syndicate, Inc. “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. Scouting has given the youth of America (and the world) a wonderful program and those same youth, as they grow up and make their way in adult life, seem to enjoy bringing back some of that influence, whether good or bad.

What I like to refer to as the “Funny side of Scouting”, touches on the lighter side of Scout and Scout like Comic Books, Print Cartoons, TV related Cartoons, and all the stuff that goes along with a good marketing blitz. Some of them cross into a little of all types and most of them are nowhere near official. Yet they all show how much influence a little program, started by a couple of folks who just wanted to help some youth, has become so deeply ingrained in our society.

I was asked by Chuck Fisk and Doug Bearce to add my collection of Boy Scout comics to the outstanding listing they had published in their “Collecting Scouting Literature Vol. 1 & 2,” for the update they have been working on. So with their permission this listing is the result.

The Listing is broken down into 3 main categories and some (4) © Boy Scouts of America additional lists for Adult only and Girl Scouting. They are in a comic (3) tm & © The Simpsons, 20th book type of formatting…i.e. size and/or art style. The first type (4) Century Fox. Playmamates Toys is an official publication or approved by the BSA. The 2nd type (5) is “Boy Scout Like;” it has a full correct uniform or correct use of the Boy Scout name. The 3rd type (6) is the most loose of the 3 with a Scouting like uniform, program or story, but the uniforms are not quite right or the names are something other then “Boy Scouts.” I have found some adult only types too and have listed some Girl Scouting Comics as well.

As far as I have been able to tell, the Comic Book and Scouting started some time in the 1930’s, with the peak some time in the late 40’s early 50’s. The depiction of Scouting, and it runs deep, is from the Famous Funnies comic “Roy Powers Eagle Scout” (7) to the Scout like program of Walt Disney’s “Junior Woodchucks” (8) and of course the satirical and bizarre like Marvel Comics “Crazy Super Special” (9).

I hope you find this listing useful and fun. As with most collecting nothing is ever complete so if you find anything you just don’t think is right or can add to it please let me know! I think we all need to (5) Published by the Famous (6) Published by Charlton Press chuckle at ourselves from time to time. Keep Smiling.

WHATZIT? Did You Know

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, is an Eagle Scout. When he said, “The Eagle has landed,” he wasn’t kidding. In 1969, Armstrong became the first Eagle Scout to be portrayed on a U.S. postage stamp— called “The Man on the Moon.”

The Invention merit badge (1911–1918) required the candidate to obtain a patent.

The first Eagle Scout to earn all available merit badges was Leon Wallace in 1922.

The BSA sells 2.3 million merit badges—one for each person in the state of Utah—every year.

Of 121 merit badges, the one earned most by Scouts across the country is First Aid; more than 84,419 Scouts earned the badge in 2008.

Raymond Cobb was 25 when he reportedly became the first “Complete Scout,” completing all merit badges and earning Eagle, Ace, Ranger, Silver, and Quartermaster Awards.

The total number of merit badges earned in 1911 was 85; the number earned in 2008 was 1,913,676. Any ideas what this chenille might have been used for?

20 ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2010 L Looking For Red & Whites Mystery RWS By Blake Keasey There is one new RWS to ISCA 0084L report, THOMAS A. EDISON/ [email protected] COUNCIL/NEW JERSEY RWS (pb over gb). Its format is very close to the previously known cloth back one, except for a few tag differences. The real differences appear in the backing, which is a clear plastic over a fine gauze. It is on a no twill (NT) material. It turned up on eBay on a nicely printed page with 4 CSPs from that council – the S-2, S-4, S-5, and S-6. But there was no explanation. So does anyone know when and why it was issued?

The most unusual new half strip is the PIONEER TRAILS 1/2GB. It is only the eighth one found so far in Explorer colors. There are four new 1/2KRs. From Wisconsin, we have BADGER COUNCIL (Type 1) – a Type 2 has been previously reported. The TWIN LAKES COUNCIL (Type 1) has the word council, which was missing in the previously known one from that council. Both the SHENANDOAH AREA COUNCIL (Type 1) and the YUCCA COUNCIL (Type 2) are the first from those councils.

Two new 1/2RWs have surfaced. The LINCOLN TRAILS 1/2RW is the first half strip from that council, but the NORTHERN NEW MEXICO 1/2RW is lacking the word council, which appears on the previously reported half strip from that council. Two different issues from such a small council is a bit of a surprise.

The one new Sea Scout strip TENNESSEE VALLEY/ COUNCIL r/e (WBS) is unusual in that it has a rolled edge (r/e). Its existence had been rumored for years, but this is the first time a picture was ever obtained.

Two new mbs have been reported. The FORT LEWIS mbs differs from the previously reported one in that the word fort is spelled out rather than abbreviated as Ft. The PORTSMOUTH (pl)(name = 82 mm) has a plastic rather than cloth back and a shorter name (82 versus 91 mm).

In terms of interesting and/or funny community strips (cms) we have MIO, BETWEEN, DUCKTOWN, and TURTLETOWN.

In the March 2010 ISCA Journal I wrote about the Golden Jubilee Camporee that I attended in Detroit when I was a young Scout back in 1960. I received a nice letter from a Detroit area resident and ISCA member – Gordon Draper about the 1957 and 1960 anniversary camporees that occurred in Detroit and across the country. Gordon highlighted the activities that we participated in during the 1960 Jubilee Camporees which were held in the Detroit Area Council from July 22-24, 1960 and they brought back some great memories.

The activities included:

A series of Night Orientation Tests that took place on Friday night for patrols that had camp set up and were ready for the weekend. There were ten tests that could yield up to ten points for each activity per patrol (or a total of 100 points).

The council covered the territory of both Scout’s rank while others were limited due to a Scout’s San Bernardino County and Clark County, Nevada (Las “status” at camp.

Prior to 1938, Camp Arataba was the council’s name hike, and “B” line hike, or to neighboring Camp Ro-Ki-Li, operated camp, as several districts operated other, smaller camps. Up until by Orange County Council. Much like the Tribe of Gorgonio at that point, Scouts from the Las Vegas area had to be bussed some Camp Ro-Ki-Li, the members of the Tribe of Siwanis would hike to 250 miles to attend summer camp.

Members were selected by current was holding three full sessions and breaking members, based on their ability, performance, attendance records nearly every year. Prior to the outstanding start of the first summer session, the camp would hold s e r v i c e , a Pioneer session with a group of older boys, known as the Scout Oath and Trail Blazers. These Pioneer sessions were used to prep the sportsmanship, while camp and train the staff members prior to the arrival of the Scouts at camp. Originally, the for summer camp. These Trail Blazers camped in tipis and did a Tribe only had three levels considerable amount of exploring and making new trails. Originally of membership, but as the two, but later changed to three years of camp attendance was numbers grew, so did the required before boys could partake in these Pioneer periods at need to expand the program camp. During this same time period, the camp was also featured to consist of Braves, Warriors, in a BSA movie that premiered at the Mann’s Chinese Theater in Medicine Men, and Chiefs (see Los Angeles. right). Although the Camp Director, R.J. Roberts (for most of this period) While at camp, the boys were entertained with the usual Scouting was the supreme Chief of the fire, several of the other camp staff m e m b e r s ARATABA CHIEF were also held the rank of Chief in the Tribe.

As Camp attendance grew to 300 Scouts in the late 1930’s, it became necessary to open an additional camp. This new camp, Camp Tecopa, named for the Indian Chief of the Southern Nevada Paiute Tribe, opened in 1938 and was located 40 miles northwest of Las Vegas near Mt. Charleston. Like Camp Arataba, this camp would operate its own honor society.

The Tribe of Tecopa operated in the same fashion as the Tribe of Siwanis, including the rank structure of its members. Unlike Camp Arataba, Camp Tecopa was able to offer activities such as visits to the recently Atataba Camp Staff completed Boulder (Hoover) Dam and fossil Circa 1937 hunting. Coinciding with the Tribe of Siwanis,

Unfortunately, Camp Tecopa did not exist for very long and by the mid 1940’s, the camp ceased operation. To this day, very little information is available regarding Camp Tecopa or the Tribe of Tecopa; it remains a complete mystery to most.

In 1952, the Tribe of Siwanis was replaced by the Order of the Arrow’s Wisumahi Lodge # 478. In 1960, Camp Arataba’s dinning hall burnt down resulting in the leasehold with the Forest Service being sold and the camp was replaced by Camp Helendade.

ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2010 35 Collecting Camp Patches Camp Clear Lake

It has been said that everyone loves R, and K (for Optimists, Rotarians, and Kiwanis) and I do have to By a mystery. I’m not sure if that is an report that the seller was not Mork. Bob Sherman overstatement or not but I would like to start off with a mystery submitted Chris Jensen of SC sent a scan of a 1935 postcard from CAMP ISCA 0490 by Rick Obermeyer of FL. In the REINBERG located in Palatine, IL. This camp was not listed [email protected] June 2008 issue of the ISCA Journal, in any of my camp references. Chris did a Google search and I showed 4 patches from Camp Clear found that it is built in 1914-18 and is still in use. It is probable that Lake, the SSC of Suwannee River Area Council in FL, dated 1949- Chicago Area Scouts used this facility for troop camping, as travel 52. Rick sent scans of 3 felt Clear Lake patches that he would to Owasippi in Southwest Michigan would have been more costly like to know if they are from Suwannee River Area, Gulf Stream, and more difficult than camping at Reinberg. Can anyone confirm Westchester-Putnam, Mecklenburg County or another BSA this theory? Council. Can anyone identify these felts?

CL - #1 CL - #2 CL - #3

Moving on to more modern camps, Steve DeWick of PA sent a scan I recently picked up a patch from of a great old patch he recent CAMP CONFUSION. Having acquired from CAMP MILLS an FDL on the patch indicates from 1936. It is in remarkable a BSA relationship although I condition. Can anyone confirm have no idea where it is from (my it is from Detroit Area Council? suspicion is that it was a summer This patch made me think camp for insurance regulators but about what is the earliest dated I can’t be certain). BSA camp patch. Many of the early patches were not Another oldie on ebay was a dated. I believe the earliest round felt (front and back shown) dated patch I have is a CAMP TONKAWA from Hennepin County Council, MN dated 1922. Would any readers like to share scans of any earlier dated camp patches?

There was an unusual old felt on ebay that was identified as being from CAMP OPROKI from Evanston (IL) Council. The patch has the letters O,

36 ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2010 from CAMP JEFFERSON from Great Falls Area Council in MT. John Hoffman of NJ sent scans of 4 arc patches from Alaska. The description said it was from 1921 although Great Falls Area SALMON LAKE CAMP is from Midnight Sun Council. NOME Council operated from 1925-28. If the 1921 date were correct, it CAMP is from the same council. Nome was not in the first Camp would be from Great Falls Council (1915-25). Either way, it is an oldie.

Manion’s Auction House had a colorful oldie from CAMP WESTMORELAND operated by Tennessee Valley Council in AL. It is an unusual design for a felt – a yellow W in the center of a

winged black felt patch with green, yellow and red feathers on both wings.

There was a patch listed from CAMP NOCHAWAY from Chehaw Council in GA. I was not aware of that camp so I wrote to the seller for any additional info he might have on this patch. He said it came in a collection – this patch was in an old yellowed white standard envelope that had “Camp Nochaway” “Georgia” and “1920’s” written on the outside. The collection came from the family of an old Georgia Scouter.

Since Chehaw Council nd opened in 1939, the info Book but will be in the 2 furnished by the seller didn’t edition. CAMP BAKER was make complete sense. The not known as an Alaskan envelope did not have the camp – the closest one I council name – the seller know of is from Oregon thought it would have been Trail Council. Finally from Chehaw. I did a search on Google and came up with quite a UNALAKLEET CAMP was bit of info on CAMP NOCHAWAY. A 1923 brochure from the camp also unknown to me and indicated it was owned by Nochaway Council (spelled Notchoway John said it is now a Bible in the National BSA records) and was located in Rhodes Ferry, camp. GA. The camp had a point system in woodcraft, scoutcraft and campcraft. The ten Scouts earning the largest number of points John also sent a scan of a were given a canoe trip down the Flint River to the Gulf after the Scout camp from Selma, camp season. The camp fee was $5.00/week. AL with the catchy name of WATOOLAKOKAHATCHEE How is this for an unusual ( t r y camp souvenir? It was saying that fast three times!). I googled it labeled a Boy Scout and did not find any info except for maps of 1927 Owasippi Souvenir where it is located. Does anyone know of a Cancel Camp. It BSA camp name that has more letters (18) consisted of a small bag than this one? I know I don’t. of fir tree needles from the Pine Woods of CAMP Spoiler alert!!! My next column will be OWASIPPI. Attached devoted to BSA Camp Neckerchiefs. If any was a tag with a 2 cent readers have any unusual or interesting red stamp cancelled on camp n/c’s that they would like me to include July 21, 1927 that said in the next column, please send me an email “Greetings from Frank or note as soon as possible. I appreciate all & Art, Owasippi Camps of your contributions to this column. B.S.A. – Crystal Lake, Whitehall, Mich.” Have a great summer of camping.

ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2010 37 Badge Collectors Corner Barbados

I am sitting down to my computer to By write this edition, I am in the throws Harold Daw of packing things up and moving to ISCA #0273L Beijing, where I will start my new job [email protected] in August 2010. Even after having moved a number of times in my life, I admit that it is not my favorite thing to do. Barbados New National Old National The hardest thing to prepare for is no badge trading for about Region Emblem Emblem the next 6 months. Argh! I must have all my papers and qualifications completed before my belongings can be shipped to me from Hong Kong and this takes about 3-4 months. I guess I will just have to be patient.

Trading is still my preferred method of getting badges for my collection but, I have to admit that sometimes it is necessary to break down and purchase them. I have a blog where I scan all the new badges I get as they come in. It helps others see what they might also want to get for their collection. I have a list of other blogs of similar interest as well. If you want to see my blog you can go here: www.worldbadger.blogspot.com and if you are Bridgetown interested in having your website or blog added to my list, just District Jacket Badge email me and I will be glad to comply. This edition I thought I would look at the island of Barbados. In a chain of islands running roughly from the end of Florida to South America, Barbados is one of the more southern islands. It is in a tropical zone and has great weather all year long. It is a prime tourist destination and truly beautiful. I visited there back in 2002 for 5 days and really had a great time. It was once a British Colony and that is when Scouting started.

Scouting was starting in Barbados in 1912 with a troop registered at a local school. The island currently has about 2500 scouts registered with the majority of them in the capital of Bridgetown. The Scouts of Barbados are frequent visitors to various scouting activities throughout the Caribbean and overseas. Caribbean Jamborees, Pan-American Jamborees, Caribbean Cuborees and Girl Guides 1987 Caribbean Jamboree World Jamborees are just some of the places you almost always see Barbados Scouts.

There are really only three types of specific badges related to Barbados Scouting – National Flag, National Emblem and Location Identification. All the rank and merit badges are the same as the UK. They are fun to collect and quite nice looking as well. I have included a variety of them with this article. If you are interested in a listing of the badges from Barbados please contact me and I can send a PDF to you with color pictures.

As many of you read this I am sure you are getting ready for the National Jamboree this summer. I wish all of you happy camping and an enjoyable jamboree. Unfortunately my move will not work 1976 1st Caribbean 1972 4th Caribbean with Jamboree plans. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Cuboree Jamboree Happy badge collecting.
