ISCA JOURNAL - DECEMBER 2009 3 CHAIRMAN’S & PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
NOAC Trade-o-ree Update Reports have continued to come in on how much everyone that attended the 2009 National Order of the Arrow (NOAC) Trade-o-ree enjoyed it. In the last issue, we reported that after expenses, we still had some money left over. We can now report that for the trade-o-ree, we had a profit of $2,143, plus an additional $1,811 of income related to the trade-o-ree bringing our total revenue to $3,954. We have initiated discussions proposing that ISCA host the Trade-o-ree at the NOAC in 2012.
Membership Update Terry Grove Just prior to the NOAC, we reduced the cost of membership to $10.00 per year Craig Leighty Chairman which included access to the Journal (the ISCA quarterly magazine) on-line on the President ISCA website. Hopefully, most of you have checked out the Journal on-line and have seen how easy it is to access and how great it is to see more of it in color. As we move forward, we expect that the on-line copy will get better and better. As mentioned in the last issue, a hard copy of the Journal mailed to you now will cost an additional $25 per year (life members are unaffected by any of this at this time). We are going to continue to monitor things and see where we are financially as our membership decides which they like best, the on-line version of the Journal or the hard copy of the Journal . . . or both.
We just re-evaluated our membership process including membership renewals (and new memberships) and are now requesting that all renewals (and all new member applications) be done on-line on the website. It’s very easy and you can use PayPal (with a credit card). We’re trying to automate as much as possible in this area . . . considering that we’re all volunteers and the old hard copy membership form and paying by check has become harder and harder to keep up with.
Note: we also need EVERYONE’S e-mail address. Going forward, that’s how we’ll communicate formally with each member. In a lot of cases, we either have no e-mail on file or what we have is incorrect. Please,EVERYONE , we are requesting that you go into the “Members Only Area” on the website and check the information listed for YOU. If everything is correct including your preferred e-mail address, then fine, otherwise, we ask that you then select the “Member Services” link on the left side of the page and update your member information. Don’t be left out of the loop by not having your information up-to-date and listed correctly.
ISCA Board/Operations As most of you know, ISCA was formed in 2001 from the merger of ASTA (American Scouting Traders Association) and NSCS (National Scouting collectors Society). At that time, we formed a Board of Directors based in part on the structures in place from those two organizations. A number of us in ISCA have been re-evaluating this structure and the need for more volunteers to not only meet our needs, but to grow as an organization. So, we NEED your help. If you would like to get involved a little more in the operations side of ISCA . . . and to help further our hobby, please give Terry or Craig a call and let us know your thoughts, ideas, comments, etc. We’d also like to know if you might consider getting involved more. Please call us even if you don’t have any concrete ideas, that’s ok . . . we really want your input and if you think you might like to get involved, we have lots of places we could use some help and we’re confident that we can align you with a good spot. The more input we get and the more people we get involved, the better for those people that are already doing more than they can handle and . . . you would be helping YOUR hobby move forward. PLEASE CALL and/or VOLUNTEER . . . PLEASE CALL NOW - Craig: 910-233-4692 or Terry: (321) 276-4958.
ISCA Advertising For those people that have been advertising in the ISCA journal, we are working on some new processes and methods to automate and streamline things. Watch for notices on the ISCA web site and here in the Journal (and possibly an e-mail if we have it correctly in our data base) as we move forward. And if you’ve never submitted an advertisement for the Journal, please consider doing so . . . you’ll be glad you did. Remember, the Journal is no longer just a hard copy magazine . . . it’s also an on-line magazine and we have a number of things we’re working on to increase exposure, etc. January 2st is the deadline (ad in hand and paid for) for advertising for the March 2010 Journal.
ISCA Board Meeting and Convention The next ISCA Board meeting will be held in Dallas on Thursday, January 21st, 1:30 PM prior to the 7th Annual ISCA National convention and the Dallas Trade-O-Ree (January 22-23, 2009). Non-board members are welcome to attend. Check with one of the officers or the ISCA website for additional details.

He realized at the time that he could fascinate the youth with stories about Indian fighting, but also realized that was not the way to encourage Scouts to join the B.S.A. in Kansas City.
Kansas City was soon divided into five districts (Northeast, Southeast, Northwest and Southwest and a district for Scouts outside of the city) using Main Street and 31st as the dividing line. The first official Scout manual had not arrived in Kansas City yet so the leaders had to rely on mimeographed instructions and bulletins from Boy Scout headquarters in New York City as well as their own local ideas and plans.

The final reminder from Watson was, “Don’t count the cost now, but the The Mid-West Boy Scout, the official magazine for Boy Scouts in benefits and profits later, REGISTER TODAY.” the area surrounding Kansas City reported in its first edition in July of 1915 that the Kansas City Council ranked fourth in the country in The first issue ofThe Mid-West Boy Scout contained three pictures of the caves near Elk Springs that had been taken the year before. The caves were “Draperies,” “The Angel,” and “The Lady of the House.” It was noted that Scoutmaster Williams had taken an exploration party into the caves a year before and his party of Scouts had discovered an old buffalo skull with a flint arrow head embedded in it. What Scout would not want to be the next one to make a major discovery like that?
There were three important reminders for camp in the second edition of The Mid-West Boy Scout. The cover of the issue showed Eagle Scout Ralph Frank bugling “To the Colors.” Ralph Frank was one of the most active and well liked Scouts in Kansas City, was the first Scout awarded the Eagle Award in Kansas City, Missouri and was said to be a potential candidate for Mayor of camp in 1915.
Since families in those days did not have a lot of disposable income to send their sons to camp and the Scouting program taught self reliance, their were two reminders about how a Scout could have his camp fees paid for him through a little extra effort. The first was by saving the carton tops of Aunt Mary’s Loaf Cake, a popular food Scout found buffalo head with arrowhead embedded in product of the time. Sixteen Scouts would go to camp free thanks skull in a cave. to Aunt Mary. The boy bringing in the most carton tops with Aunt ISCA JOURNAL - DECEMBER 2009 9 Mary’s picture would receive a free round trip ticket on the train to Scouter R.L.

The next five boys would be given round trip tickets to occupied) and reported that Boy Scouts were in for a real treat in camp and the entrance fee and the next ten would be given round 1915 as the swimming hole was 15 feet deep and 200 feet long. trip tickets to camp. The contest was scheduled to end two days Scout Executive Palmer reported that he had been to the camp site before camp began and all Aunt Mary tops were to be delivered to to inspect it and it was the best that he had ever seen. In fact, the Mr. Palmer at Boy Scout headquarters. The ad noted that Patrick swimming hole was so fine that he went in twice in one day to enjoy Connor, the weather man, says: “It will be hotter than blazes August a swim. Youth in the early part of the century did not have access 16th.” That must have driven the youth in Kansas City to survey the area for those valuable pictures of Aunt Mary.
Bunting-Stone Hardware, located at Eighth and Walnut also reminded Scouts that one Scout from Troop 17 had sold enough flyswatters in two days in 1914 to pay his way to camp as well as his camp expenses. Scouts were instructed to come in and see Mr. W.M. Bunting for the particulars on this opportunity. The supply of swatters was limited and the time was short so if they wanted to have a way to pay for camp they had to talk with him soon. Hot weather was already enveloping the city and one gross of fly swatters could send a Scout to camp.
The third issue of The Mid-West Boy Scout had a couple of reminders as the date to finalize payments for camp was fast approaching. Scout Executive A.J. Visitors Sunday at 1913 summer camp. Palmer reminded readers that boys not registered by six o’clock Thursday, August fifth would be unable to go to the Third Annual Summer Camp at to community swimming pools like their children and grandchildren Elk Springs that summer. Once the advance baggage car left for did later. Swimming in a clean river with lifeguards to ensure a safe camp, no additional equipment would be accepted from dilatory swim was a special treat. One of the later camp brochures from Scouts. Palmer announced that since this would be the best camp the Elk River camps emphasized that “swimming in the Elk River ever for Scouts, Sunday August 22nd had been designated as is almost ideal” (facing page). Nature had shaped a deep end for “Visitors Day” and everyone was welcome to visit the camp and experienced swimmers upstream in the Elk River and a shallow see how the Scouts were trained and how they benefited by camp end downstream for beginning swimmers. The camp owned a experiences. “Shoot-the-Shoots” which was a giant slide that catapulted Scouts into the river at high speeds as well as a diving platform. These two novelties were seen in many early camp brochures and movies as they were two of the high points of the camping experience.
Visitor’s day was an important part of camp life in the early days. These two week camps allowed many Scouts to become homesick so parents were encouraged to come down and visit any time on Sunday or any other day after four o’clock. They were reminded that there were no facilities for feeding visitors in camp so they would have to stop to pick up food at a tavern in Noel, Missouri. Parents were reminded to visit their Scout at least once during camp. Scouts were required to write home several times during camp and their family could send them a letter.
Attending Scouts were reminded in the 1915 Camp Handbook that the camp store was an important part of the camp experience. The profit made through the camp store helped to pay for extra expenses of the camp. In other words if the Scout spent enough money at the camp store, they would not have to wash dishes and they would be guaranteed better food—and more of it each day. They would also be furnished with free stationary to write home to their parents to let them know how much they were enjoying Scouts at entrance to cave. camp. So there could be no excuses about spending a little money everyday on sweets at the camp store.

To keep the older Scouts (the “Merit Badge Scouts”) interested in continuing to attend camp after they had earned one or two “Four M” Awards and to make sure they were kept busy while there, the Scout Council announced a special award for Scouts who passed the requirements for a yellow, red or blue “Four M” band.

ISCA JOURNAL - DECEMBER 2009 13 NECKERCHIEF SLIDE UPDATE
By John Koppen, ISCA #0085
BLUE RIVER PHILMONT SLIDES All the major neckerchief slide makers at one time or another made Philmont Scout Ranch-related slides: “TORCHY” “NEAL”, Sherman Landman, and “BLUE RIVER.” But because Philmont had such a close and fairly exclusive relationship with the J. R. “Dick” Davis family of ceramic makers located out of nearby Eagles Nest, the slides made by other makers were limited mostly to contingent pieces for the Philmont “trek.”
There are two “BLUE RIVER” slides that have yet to be reported. These, of course, are very rare; it would be easy to assume that they were simply prototypes. However, they have both clearly been worn. In addition, the operators of “BLUE RIVER CASTING COM- PANY” were firmly commit- ted to the principle that Scouts may wear these neckerchief slides only after they have qualified by participating in these events.
The buffalo design is one of Blue River’s most beautiful and popular designs. It is very reminiscent of the buffalo design on the Indian Head nickel, especially the first variety in 1913 where the buffalo was standing on raised ground. In the Blue River catalogue distributed to local councils in the late 1950’s, the slide was available in two ways. First, there was a generic slide, painted metallic gold. Secondly, you could order slides in metallic gold or black with up to 5 red letters on them. Obviously these slides were not ordered through the general catalogue, since each has more than 5 letters and the letters are yellow.
The Ranger program at Philmont began in the late 1950s in support of the trek program. A ranger generally would accompany a trek unit for the first couple of days of the two-week backpacking trip from camp to camp at Philmont for orientation purposes. These PHILMONT RANGER slides were made in about 1957. This slide may have been issued for only the first year.
Since the general PHILMONT buffalo issue is also so rare, they may have been for an elite group or used as presentation pieces. Regardless, they are a very remarkable pair!
NEW YORK CITY BARBECUE SLIDES Barbecues are a big deal in New York City (believe it or not Pace Picante Sauce!). As a result, barbecues were also prominent for the Boy Scouts of New York City. Back in the 1950’s, the annual Scout Barbecue had a neckerchief slide from 1951-1957.
Each slide bears the year of issue. They vary in design and wording. The first is a plastic container for matches, first aid supplies, etc. This design was used for other events in the early 50’s as well. Three of the slides are “Torchy” resin slides. The other three are leather, each cleverly created. The hardest to find is the one from 1956. They are a great set!
14 ISCA JOURNAL - DECEMBER 2009 PRINTED LEATHER NECKERCHIEF SLIDES FROM THE 1940’s

18 ISCA JOURNAL - DECEMBER 2009 L Looking For Red & Whites 10th Original Style (OS) RWS By Blake Keasey I obtained my first Original Style (OS) ISCA 0084L RWS (Buffalo Trail/Council) at the 1994 [email protected] Dallas TOR. It had been worn by a retired professional Scouter who ran that council in the early to mid 1950’s. He and a coworker ordered a total of 6, which promptly went on the set of 3 uniforms they each maintained. It took me a few years to figure out exactly what I had. During those years, I realized that I had heard of one more (Starved Rock Area/Council) OS. In previous descriptions, I have explained that National Supply apparently ordered a bunch of RWS on which “Council” was already embroidered. As orders (as small as 6) came in they would add the Council name across the top. The letters were smaller and cruder than those in “Council” and they were backed with gauze. The Starved Rock Area/Council (OS) is pictured on page 371 in the 2009 edition of the Aid to Collecting Council Shoulder Insignia with Valuation Guide. With the surfacing of MISSOURI VALLEY/COUNCIL (OS) RWS they have finally made it up to 2 digits (a total of 10). Probably there are more out there so keep on the lookout.
Three more ½-strips have been reported. The LOS ANGELES COUNCIL 1/2KR is unusual in that it is 149 mm long instead of the much more typical 125 mm. The only other one of this length I have ever encountered is the tan and red from that same council. Darn things don’t really fit in their plastic sleeve as does all the rest of my collection. There are certainly other 1/2KRs with more letters in their name, so go figure. The FORT STEUBEN AREA 1/2KR comes from Ohio and is in a format that matches a previously reported 1/2BY from that council. The SEQUOYAH 1/2RW is from TN and gets counted as a council strip as I failed to find any town by that name in the USA and there is no other 1/2RW with that name and the word “Council.” So if anyone can document a town by that name, then let me know and it will get delisted (a dreaded fate).
There are also 2 new Sea Scout patches to report. The ST. LOUIS AREA/ COUNCIL BWS comes out of Missouri. The CHIEF SEATTLE COUNCIL/ WASHINGTON (115/63) versus (111/65) BWS is really very easy to spot when you can not find your handy dandy millimeter measuring device. The first leg of the “W” points to the “F” in Chief, whereas it points to the “E” in the more common 1.
The 1 new Military Base Strip (MBS) comes out of former West Germany. It was a US Army installation in ASCHAFFENBURG. Units of the 3rd Infantry Division actually occupied 6 former Wehrmacht Kasernes. After they left in 1992, several buildings provided dependent housing until as recently as 2007. This town name is the 27th location of former US Military Bases in former West Germany. Given that strips from more than 1 Scouting program have been found for the same town the total number of actual strips is up to 40

ISCA JOURNAL - DECEMBER 2009 19 WAY BACK WHEN President Harry S.

Over the next 10 days, the Scouts had ample time to reflect upon Mr. Truman’s words of hope and encouragement, so pointed given Today, even more than in Washington’s time, men in other countries the global backdrop, of which many young men would take to heart. share our belief in freedom and our willingness to make sacrifices Soon, some of these Scouts would serve and die for their country in for it.

We Are Americans, We Are Scouts, Written and Edited by David C. Scott, Published by Red Honor Press (2008) $11.95 (117 pages)
Several months ago, David Scott, who writes the Way Back When column for the Journal sent me a copy of his new book We Are Americans, We Are Scouts, to review. I promptly put it in a place I would be sure to find it when I had some spare time to read what looked like a really interesting book. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I never got around to reading it until a short time ago. I’m really glad I finally found the time.
We Are Americans, We Are Scouts is a collection of quotations and anecdotes from and about Theodore Roosevelt, the first and only Chief Scout Citizen of the BSA. In this book, the author relates the wit and wisdom of the Chief Scout Citizen to those core prin- ciples that have been a part of the Scouting move- ment from its inception.
This is a great resource for anyone who has to pre- pare inspirational presentations. Quotations are cat- egorized by the fundamental Scouting principles (i.e., the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, Character Counts, etc.) to which they relate. In addition to being a great reference, its also a good read.
In sum, its a book all Scouts and Scouters should have on their bookshelf.
