ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2016 3 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Standard OA Insignia and Memorabilia Catalog (Blue Book): We are getting close to finalizing the rules changes and will then turn loose the lodge editors to start making changes and formally assigning ID numbers to all of the patches issued since the last update. Check the ISCA website for the latest status. Craig Leighty President ISCAStore: The ISCA Store is now under the management of Gene Cobb as reported in the last Journal issue. Back issues of the ISCA journal have now been posted and you can still get ISCA ID badges. If you have any suggestions to Gene on things that he can add to the store, let him know at [email protected]. ISCA Website: There have been a number of changes to the ISCA website and we’re planning to make some more in the near future. So, now is the time to let us know what else you would like. Just send a message to James Arriola who is now responsible for website content ([email protected]) or Dave Pede ([email protected]), ISCA Web- master and let them know your thoughts and ideas. Trade-o-ree Listings: As many of you know, ISCA has always maintained a trade-o-ree listing on our web- site. We have recently changed the management of that section of our website and when you click on the “trade-o-ree link”, it will take you to bsator.com. As stated on the website, BSATOR.com is a free service to help promote Boy Scout Trade-o-ree events taking place throughout the country. The information is gathered by asking people to submit their information and also from other Scouting websites and trade-o-ree organizers. It is managed by ISCA board member Brian Ives. Most trade-o-rees that are listed have an accompanying flyer that you can download and many of them have pictures from the prior years trade-o-ree to give you a better feel of what to expect if you were to attend. At press time, there were 40 trade- o-rees listed for the remainder of 2016 and another 11 were already listed for 2017. A summary is also posted in each quarter’s Journal. ISCA Donor program Update: In the last ISCA Journal, it was announced that we had kicked off a new ISCA Financial support package or “Do- nor Program.” It has started strong and over $1,000.00 has already been donated. A special donor ISCA patch will be given to each donor over a certain amount and each donor, if they haven’t already, will soon be receiving a complete package in the mail detailing their individual benefits. One of the benefits is that ads that are part of the package can be passed on to anyone, i.e.: a council, lodge, etc. to use in any way that is consistent with ISCA ad guidelines and they have up to 2 years to submit the ad. Fake Patches on EBay: We had inquired last year to Ebay as to what ISCA could do to help stem the listing of fake Scouting patches on EBay and we finally got a response. Based on their response, we are generating a policy statement that will in- clude what we would suggest members to do when and if they determine or suspect that a fake Boy Scout patch is listed in an attempt to defraud the public. This statement will be posted on the ISCA website and in the Journal when completed. 4 ISCA JOURNAL - JUNE 2016 All – In – One Financial Support Package The ISCA Board of Directors is rolling out a new way for members to financially support the work of ISCA. With one gift, the new program provides the donor two or more of the following possibilities: • Paying the annual membership fee • Receiving a free ad in the Journal • Receiving the printed copy of the Journal Here is how it works (special benefit – the
