I had a nice call from a guy yesterday out of Arkansas who was an Eagle Scout and part of the OA. He is going to mail me a small box of stuff that I am having him send to my summer camp. Tuesday night Matt Delk and I do a pop up Scout museum program. Since Matt is gone Week 1 I was already looking for a short activity to fill his time slot. Now we will do a live unboxing with the Scouts to see what this guy had. Should be fun.

Today my camp staff is moving in. We have 60+ staffers showing up today so it's always a little hectic. But if all goes well by dinner they will be settled in and we can start a very busy schedule of trainings and program area work to get ready to welcome units in a week.

My talk this summer in the museum is going to be on campfire blankets. I have a good collection of vintage blankets from mostly the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I will also blend in our felt vests because down south nobody wears these traditional poncho blankets. I will of course take some pictures and share with the readers.

On eBay I have 294 live listings including about a hundred that are ending tonight. You can find SAPs, OA and lots more sprinkled among the listings that are closing.
