ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 3 CHAIRMAN’S & PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Tenth ISCA Convention, Annual Board Meeting and Dallas Trade-O-Ree

ISCA held its 10th Annual Convention in Dallas in conjunction with the 35th Dallas Trade-o-ree in January. Attendance to the trade-o-ree seemed a little down from previous years, but there was still a lot of people from all over the country and from what we heard, there were some pretty good sales. An ISCA Board meeting was held prior to the Trade-o-ree and a total of five workshops were held during the Trade-o-ree. One of the sessions was an open session Terry Grove on ISCA with questions and answers about some of the latest on ISCA and Craig Leighty Chairman ISCA’s role in the 2013 National Jamboree including the Collections merit President badge and the evening trading activity. It was noted that we could still use a couple more people to help staff the Collections merit badge. More details, or to express interest, can be obtained from Rick Bedsworth ([email protected]).

During the board meeting, the new regional structure under the guidance of VP Activities, Bill Loeble, was discussed. More volunteers are needed to cover all lodges and councils to include history projects, coordination, and other as determined in the future. If you would like to volunteer and/or get more information on what is involved, please contact Bill at (bloeble@beaverloc. com) or one of the regional coordinators: Northeast Region - Greg Anthony ([email protected]), Southern Region - Bill Biggerstaff ([email protected]), Central Region - Kory Lewis ([email protected]) and Western Region - Rick Bedsworth ([email protected]).

2013 National Jamboree

As discussed before in past Journals, ISCA is involved in two ways this summer at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree at the Summit.

Patch trading at the Summit for the 2013 National Scout Jamboree will for the first time become an official program activity administered by the Summit Program Leadership Action Team (S.P.L.A.T.) in an “Arena Experience” area. This Arena Experience area will be the location for a number of great activities such as games, entertainment, special presentations, and patch trading. ISCA will provide support for the patch trading venue by offering resource materials and information, logistic, planning and organizational support, and monitoring of the area(s) during the Jamboree by providing ISCA members to be on staff. ISCA has organized a team to support this activity under Craig Leighty. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact him at ([email protected]).

ISCA will also again sponsor the Collections Merit Badge. It will be offered in an area adjacent to where the patch trading activity will occur and will include a number of displays that can be used for both the merit badge and also as a resource for the patch trading activity. Jamboree staff positions are still available. For additional details and/or to express interest, contact Rick Bedsworth ([email protected]).

ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 7 THE FORGOTTEN FIRST BADGES OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

By Michael Feigenbaum The first badges of the Boy Scouts of America were made available in November 1910. Around that time Bulletin No. 6 was reprinted from the BSA original headquarters at 128 East 28th Street in New York City. This “Bulletin No. 6,” took the form of an 8 page illustrated Price List. It depicted uniform parts, printed matter, including a Handbook and now these first badges for both Boy Scouts and leaders. The new National Headquarters address at 200 Fifth Avenue was inscribed on the bulletins cover, as they were to shortly move into that new office on January 2, 1911 (Fig 1).

These first badges were designed after the British model. They did not have an Eagle superimposed on the fleur-de- lis, as the Scout Sign of today. But they did have the symbol for “Truth and Knowledge,” in the form of two stars. The design patent was applied for by Baden Powell as the assignor to the Boy Scouts of America on December 30, 1910 and obtained on May 30, 1911 (Fig 2). Fig 1

These badges for boys consisted of Tenderfoot, Second, and First Class pins in gold gilt (Fig 3). The Tenderfoot and First Class Badge were also available in a white metal finish for Patrol Leaders. The First

Safety pins were used on the backside of the Second and First Class Badges. Unlike the British badges, which had two looped posts. These posts would be pushed through the material of a shirt or hat. A separate rod would then be inserted through the two loops to hold the badge in place. This British concept of attachment would continue to be used. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and other British Commonwealth countries, would use them on large pins until around the 1960s.

The First Class badge had a distinctive line of Pearls or dots embossed on it. These appear on the horizontal Ring holding the three parts of the fleur-de-lis together. They can be seen on the drawings in the Bulletin No. 6, price list and the US design patent document.

Yes. I know that we’ve used this picture before, but it is mentioned in Michael Feigenbaum’s article above and besides that its just a cool picture.

The picture was taken on September 23, 1910 atop BSA’s first headquarters in the YMCA building at 124 E. 28th Street in New York City. In the background you can clearly see the banner referred to by Michael showing the First Class insignia.

10 ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 News from the National Scouting Museum 100 Years of Scouting Magazine Goes Online By CORRY KANZENBERG, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, National Scouting Museum

The product of a collaborative effort between the Boy Scouts of America and the Univer- sity of North Texas, issues of Scouting magazine from the National Scouting Museum Archives become available online this March. This important resource is being in- troduced on the web just as the magazine celebrates its one- hundredth anniversary year.

In early 2012, our colleagues over at Scouting approached us with the idea of digitizing the entire run of the magazine, page by page. With a limited budget and a desired launch date of March 2013, we be- gan researching the options for successfully completing such a massive undertaking.

Our friends nearby at the Uni- versity of North Texas provided a practical solution to scan, cat- alog, and upload the issues via their unique online database, The Portal to Texas History. As the University looks to expand its online history platform to a national level, Scouting pro- vides a chance to help them meet this expectation. Offering broad opportunities for explora- tion, the magazine’s availability through an academic website will foster new historical re- search on Scouting-related topics. With more than 2 million items to search from among numerous contributing muse- ums, libraries, and memory institutions, users of the site may happen upon cross-ref- erences to Scouting subjects in a variety of documents in addition to results from the of- ficial magazine.

ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 11 L Looking For Red & Whites Yet Another Variation

By Blake Keasey Again, there is another variation to ISCA 0084L report. This time it comes from Valley [email protected] Forge Council (PA). There are already 2 size variations, in which the name is either 102 or 116 mm in length. Turns out that the 102 variation comes up as both TTB and TBL (in the Council name). They are both pictured so the tag differences can be seen. They will be designated as /COUNCIL (102/) TBL and VALLEY FORGE/COUNCIL (102) TTB. TBL is the tougher variation.

There is one new 1/2KR and one new 1/2RW. The TRINITY NECHES 1/2KR is a shorter format than the previously reported Trinity-Neches Council. The MAUI COUNTY 1/2RW is a later format of the previously reported Maui County 1/2KR.

It is rare that a new strip surfaces. The new find is WASHINGTON, D.C. 1/2BW.

New strips are even rarer. We have 2, ALAMEDA 1/2BY from CA and YONKERS 1/2BY from NY.

Of the 4 new military base strips (mbs) all 3 of the 1/2KRs come from different branches. From the US Marine Corps, we have CHERRY POINT 1/2KR. Its construction in late 1941 began with extensive malaria control work in a swampy section of NC. The one from the US Air Force is ELEMDORF A.F.B. 1/2KR, which is located in AK. From the US Army, we have DARMSTADT 1/2KR, which is located in what had been West Germany. I even know the Troop number (65) as that was my first Scout Troop in 1951. I have been searching for this patch for 3 decades so I could complete a display.

The single 1/2RW is from FONTAINBLEAU, France. This strip would have been worn by Scouts whose parents served at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE). This HQ was established by General Eisenhower in April 1951 and discontinued in February 1966 when President de Gaulle decided to withdraw from NATO.

When I am picking funny and/or unusual town names I often think of someone responding to the question – Where do you live? Some of these responses would indeed sound unusual and perhaps even funny. As readers of this column often ask me if there really is such a place I have begun trying to locate them and will list their state if I found it. The names are Corn (OK), Lost Nation (IA), Macks Inn (ID), Micro (NC), Novelty (MO), Novice (TX), and Science Hill (KY).

Contributors for this issue include Duane Fowlks, Rod Gaudreau, Dan Graham, Karl Henley, John Hoffman, Todd Kelley, Bill Loeble, Linnie McClellan, Kevin Rudesill, and C. Schebler.

That summer Washington was abuzz with activity. From June 30 through July 9, by Presidential invitation, the capital hosted 25,000 Scouts who descended on the city in celebration of youth and leadership.

As reported in the official history of the event, at the base of the Washington Monument, “Scouts from everywhere met each other all together for the first thrill of such a meeting.”

Two days before the Jamboree ended, on July 7, organizers staged a parade that included President Roosevelt himself, Chief Scout Executive James E. West, and National Scout Commissioner Dan Beard, escorted by selected Eagle Scouts. All three greeted the throngs of Scouts, Scouters, and visitors from the back seat of their open-air vehicle.

During the Jamboree as the Jamboree Newspaper article describes, less than one third of the Scouts were given the opportunity to place their name on a balloon and release it.

ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 31 HAPPY TRAILS Abraham Lincoln & His Legacy on Hiking Trails

By With the 150th Anniversary of the Larry Faulkner Civil War in full swing and the rave ISCA #7708 reviews for Steven Spielberg’s [email protected] cinema offering “Lincoln,” there could not be a better time to examine the impact this great American leader had on Boy Scout trails throughout the Midwest and East Coast. So popular is President Lincoln that over 20 trails sprang up in six states each providing a special Trail Medal for completing the trek. His impact was felt in his home state of Kentucky up through his middle youth and young adulthood in Indiana and on to Illinois, where he made a name for himself. The trails named for President Lincoln are listed below by State:

Illinois:

• Abraham Lincoln • Illinois Lincoln Trail • Lincoln Circuit Trail • Lincoln-Douglas Heritage • Lincoln Heritage • Lincoln Homesite • Lincoln Trail

Indiana:

• Lincoln Sesquicentennial • Lincoln Bicentennial trail can be dated back to November 6, 1926 and featured a • Indiana Lincoln Trail red, white, and blue Ribbon with a brass suspended medal that • Kentucky: had a silhouette of Abraham Lincoln and the dates 1809-1865. The trail ran 20 miles from New Salem, IL to Springfield, IL – • Freedom Trail (E&K R.R.) the same route that Lincoln used to walk as a youth to borrow • Kentucky Lincoln Trail books so that he might continue the study of law. In 1959 a • Gettysburg Address Trail special Sesquicentennial Medal was produced looking like the normal medal but with a Top Bar indicating the dates 1809 – • Lincoln Sesquicentennial 1959. Around 1970 the Trail Medal was changed to reflect Lincoln walking down the road reading a law book that was more Ohio: in keeping with the purpose of the trail. It is sponsored by the Abraham Lincoln Council in Springfield. • Lincoln Memorial Pilgrimage Another trail with a long history was the Kentucky Lincoln Trail that started in August 1942 and was sponsored by the Pennsylvania: Zit-Kala-Sha Lodge. A monster of a trail, it ran 32 miles from Elizabethtown through a scenic mountainous section of Kentucky • Gettysburg Trail to Hodgenville. It was an overnight trek that required the Scouts • Washington, D.C.: to camp Lincoln’s boyhood home near Knob Creek. This traile • Lincoln Pilgrimage was easily the toughest of the trails to complete. The medal associated with this trail had various colored ribbons – the most • Lincoln Trail (NCAC) common being a Brown & Yellow on with a pewter colored bust of Lincoln that said “Abraham Lincoln – Born Feb12th, 1809.” The oldest of the trails is the Abraham Lincoln Illinois Trail. Their The Medal looked much like the penny which bears his likeness.

32 ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 Lincoln Trail Medals

In Indiana, Lincoln spent his youthful years that coincided with In Decatur, IL was one of the most popular Lincoln Trails – the age of Cub, Boy, and Venture Scouts. The Indiana Historical the Lincoln Homesite Trail (originally named the Homestead Commission in conjunction with the Buffalo Trace Council in Trail but changed). It ran 20 miles in length from Decatur to Evansville, IN created this 17.1 mile followed the trek of Lincoln’s the Sangamon River, circumnavigating the river to the site family to their new Indiana home. A beautiful medal was awarded of Lincoln’s home in Macon County – Harristown and then showing Lincoln reading in front of a fireplace. This medal has returning to the log cabin in Fairview Park where Lincoln also recreated for the Bicentennial Encampment celebrating practiced law. Lincoln’s 200th birthday in 2008.

ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 33 Hobby Trends Tipping Point by Roy More , ISCA # 0020L

A realtor friend of mine once said she was told, when asked “How Now with the trend towards filling in a collection these items can is the real estate market?” to answer “Unbelievable.” It could be be sought after. Collectors are focusing on a few local lodges and unbelievably good. Or, it could be unbelievably bad! councils but collecting everything related to them not just cloth. This is a VERY positive and powerful trend. This thought comes to mind based upon conversations I have had over the past year with senior collectors and dealers. This may be heresy as a patch dealer but here goes – We have passed the point where councils and lodges are making more patches than our wallets can afford. I mark it as heresy that as a dealer and market maker some think we should always be upbeat and optimistic. We are. When we’re talking about true collectibles. But much of what is coming out now feels more like Beanie Babies than collectibles. Muscogee Lodge 221 neckerchief slide brought $203. How many times have you attended trade-o-rees and seen tables full of OA two-piece sets or stacks of new special issue CSPs? Too many times in my opinion. In economics there is a theory called Gresham’s Law. It dates back to the 1500’s although a good Wikipedia search shows references back to ancient Greece. This law states that bad money drives out good. It has to do with the debasement of currencies by governments in order to spend more but there is a parallel in hobbies. It has happened to the aforementioned Beanie Babies but also to baseball cards, Hummel figurines, animation art cells and other collectibles. Its where the makers of the collectibles have turned up the printing presses for a short term gain but at the long-term detriment. Now all is not lost and I’ll get into that but as some perspective, last year we sent out over 5,000 orders of patches; more than 100 per week representing over 20,000 patches. That is an indication of a strong hobby but there are cross currents. Collectors are Yaqui Lodge 138 Vigil certificate brought $960. coming into the hobby arguably at a faster rate than they are leaving. But if all that they see is modern, mass-produced items But what the ‘bad driving out the good’ is doing is allowing many then that will be their focus. The mass-produced patches have true rarities to pass as bargains because most folks do not know driven under the table or back into the box the good vintage how rare they are because they never see them. patches. The good patches are good because they were made to be used as recognition within the Scouting program. They were worn. They were coveted. They were limited in their production and distribution. This is not the first time our hobby has created collectibles for the sake of trading. Those of us old enough to remember the 1985 National Jamboree remember how hat-pins were the rage. Now they are hard to give away. Scout mugs used to be quite popular but now are not worth the cost of shipping. Same can be said for most handbooks after 1920. But OA Caldwell pins that could be bought for $100 - $200 in 1985 can sell for ten to twenty times as much today. True collectibles win out. 1937 National One can have fun with the modern items. I have many in my Jamboree collection and enjoy picking them up but I realize they are not Poster where the value is or will be. If they come my way, great but if brought they don’t oh well. What needs to happen is for these patches to $761. no longer be profitable for the producers. So what is positive that is happening within the hobby? What I and my team see is with so much out there Scouting collectors are going for depth rather than breadth. Collectors are looking to put the story with the patches. They are rounding out their collections. What used to be ancillary items that were overlooked are bringing what might be surprising prices. See pictures 1, 2 and 3. In days past these would not have had much interest.

34 ISCA JOURNAL - MARCH 2013 Gimogash Lodge 214 X2

Wah-pe-kah-me-kunk Lodge 512 X1 brought Kola Lodge 464 $750. Vigil Caldwell totem pin

This item sold for $750 at auction with one bidder. Prior prices for this have been $3,500 or more. It will likely bring this again as these were used by the lodge’s 1956 NOAC contingent and is Last year the National Conference gave the first patch from the lodge. There are likely less than ten (10) more space than ever before to a museum exhibit. Leaders in ever made and issued. As issued on neckerchief it is even rarer. the hobby, adult and youth, brought together a great display But most collectors do not know this. Unless we, the hobby, tell and great history but we need to do this better and more often. them and show them. Display your collections at council and lodge events but include The best items are most likely to be privately placed. Examples more than just frames of patches. Tell the story of how they were we moved this year that did not see the light of day include a 214 used, when they were issued and their connection to Scouting. X2 at $18,000 and a Lodge 464 Vigil totem pin at $5,000 and In the on-line OA Blue Book one can now post comments for many other four and five figure patches. That is often the way it each issue. Why? To capture and re-tell this history. Anyone can is with high-end collectibles. The best pieces are handled by the contribute. If you want this hobby to not become Beanie Babies, best dealers as they know the value and the buyer you need to give back. Advertisement Advertisement
