ISCA JOURNAL - SSEPTEMBER 2005 3 CHAIRMAN'S & PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE lots of information to cover in our message this time. We'll give you a summary of ISCA's role at the National Jamboree this summer, our latest board meeting and lots more. So, first, since the Jamboree was our most recent endeavor and a substantial portion of the Journal this quarter is devoted to the Jamboree, we'll talk a little about that. IseA at the 2005 National Scout Jamboree at Ft. A.P. Hill - this was a first for ISCA to have a formal presence at a National Jamboree. Our overall goal was to establish a presence so that ISCA would be recognized on a National level as the organization looking out for and promoting ethics in the area of collecting and preserving Scouting memorabilia. We feel we really accomplished Terry Grove that by having a presence in two areas at the Jamboree. Of course, this is just Craig Leighty Chairman the first step in establishing a broader presence at future Jamborees (we'll be President talking more about that in the future). ISCA's presence this time was in the form of an ISCA Information booth located right in the middle of all of the BSA National Exhibits and the sponsorship of the Collections Merit Badge in Merit Badge Midway. At the ISCA booth which was organized by Marketing VP, Jef Heckinger, information was provided to Jamboree attendees about ISCA and we signed up approximately 200 new members (about 74 youth) and about 1600 Scouts and Scouters joined ISCA as e-Members. Note: e-Members do not receive the quarterly journal or have access to the members area of out web-site, but of course are encouraged to join ISCA at a future date to receive the benefits of being a full member. New updated CSP and OA checklists were available (they are also available on the ISCA web-site for download in both PDF and spreadsheet format). In addition, Pokemon provided ISCA with a large quantity of collectable Pokemon cards that we also distributed to attendees. At the Collections Merit Badge area, we processed over 1,000 Scouts through the booth and a total of 684 Scouts completed the merit badge. Approximately 90% of them earned it for collecting patches, not a real surprise and in second place was trading cards (mostly Magic Cards). Craig Leighty and Jim Ellis organized and coordinated this very successful activity. To make both of these Jamboree events happen, over 20 ISCA members helped out at either the ISCA booth and/or the Collections Merit Badge area - a special thanks goes out to all of you and their names are listed at the end of our report. lastly, Terry Grove had his Eagle Display at the Jamboree at the NESA booth. His display was also important in ISCA's presence. Financial Update - ISCA is growing as noted above and is also financially strong. Current assets are about $57,000 of liquid assets, however, a little over 75% of that is reserved for the Life Membership fund which is used to cover the costs of our life members.
