The Summit Bechtel Reserve opened in 2013. It played host to a National Jamboree in 2017 and the World Scout Jamboree in 2019. During those 10 years since the Summit opened, development has grown and a lot of permanent infrastructure has been put into place to welcome scouts and provide a world class experience in the hills of West Virginia. “We've got one of the largest skateboard parks in the world, one of the largest shooting ranges in the world, and we've got more zip lines than anywhere. It's a phenomenal place for young people to test themselves and challenge themselves,” said Tico Perez, Chairman of the National Jamboree.

Jim Justice said. “These projects will not only address many of our community and economic development needs in the state but also take advantage of our assets so that we can continue to grow our economy.” The Appalachian Regional Commission is an economic development partnership agency of the federal government and 13 state governments across the Appalachian region. It aims to innovate, partner, and invest in building community capacity and strengthening economic growth in Appalachia.

In this episode of the show I am back with some great content. The highlight is an interview with Russell Smart at the Charlotte Trade-O-Ree. He came to the event with an amazing display of Scouting history. His focus was the 20 plus iterations of which merit badges were required for the rank of Eagle Scout. So in each frame he has the patch, medal and merit badge patches from every time the BSA changed the requirements for its highest rank. You can also see a series of small Boy Scout collection unboxings where I did a marathon run. I hope you appreciate the Scobby Doo time effect to speed up the transition. You can also watch to see the winner of the giveaway last week of the 1937 National Scout Jamboree patch. Of course I have another giveaway this week. All you have to do is put in your name and email at www.scoutpatchcollectors.com/prize.

Andrew Silverstone could teach us all a thing or two about the Scout Oath and Law. When he heard that some Scouts had lost their patches at the 2017 National Scout Jamboree he sprang into action organizing rescue boxes. Using social media he gathered donations and made sure that these Scouts first experience with trading patches wasn't a disappointment. In my interview Andrew tells the story of how it all happened. He also shares why this was so meaningful for him as he was a victim of this mishap himself back at the 1985 Jamboree.

Trump spoke before the National Scout Jamboree on July 24. It is an 80-year tradition for the sitting president to address the Boy Scouts.
Nick Wolf, the Patch King, has a Top 10 list just for folks headed to the Jamboree. As a veteran trader of several Jambos now Nick has come up with ten important tips he shares with the listeners. I was able to sprinkle in some stories and commentary on Nick's list to give you some good examples. The bottom line is that anybody going to the 2017 National Scout Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel National Scout Reserve would get something helpful from his tips. Certainly his list is not all inclusive and so if you have some you'd like to share please leave them as a comment. Likewise if you have questions regarding patch trading at the Jamboree please reach out to me. Find more Scouting memorabilia content and all of my podcasts at http://www.scoutpatchcollectors.com.
Today on the podcast I welcome Nick Wolf who many of you know as the "Patch King". After using some customized patch trading blankets at the 2015 National Order of the Arrow Conference Nick set about seeing if he could design and produce a patch trading blanket for the hobby. After six months of developement he released his blanket which features room for up to 30 different flap/CSP shaped patches along with a zipper system to keep them in place. Since then Nick has also released a matching blanket that is the perfect size for OA two-piece sets and is about to come out with one madef or neckerchiefs and jacket patches. In this interview Nick shares the story of how he got inspired to make the patch blanket and we talk about the process of getting it to production. The hope is that many Scouts and Scouters attending the 2017 National Scout Jamboree will put these to good use.

Back in the 1990s I was a college student who looked forward to the quarterly newspaper catalog of Boy Scout memorabilia that would show up in my university P.O. Box. My guest tonight on Scouting Hot Finds Radio has been a full time Scout memorabilia dealer for going on three decades. Chris Jensen, the owner of Streamwood.net is one of the most well known figures in the hobby. He has organized dozens of trade-o-rees including ones at the National Scout Jamboree and the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC). He has published reference books on collecting merit badges and Order of the Arrow conclaves to name a few. But perhaps he is most famous for the ubiquitous Boxware frames that sit on just about every TOR table around the country. I've been waiting several months to tie him down for an interview and tonight you can hear part 1 where he opens up about his story and the hobby of Boy Scout patch collecting.

Straight from the pages of Scouting Magazine! Will Scouts be able to continue the legacy of swapping patches at the Summit? See what your Scouts can expect when it comes to patch trading at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree. My guest tonight is Spencer Haberman who was featured in the current issue of Scouting Magazine. The article titled, "Summit Shakedown preview: Patch trading at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree" focused on Spencer's patch trading protest that he led at the 2012 Summit Shakedown. From a group of 3 Scouts trading on a cot the movement grew to 300 Scouts within an hour and got the attention of the BSA executives and lead volunteers. Tonight Spencer Haberman will share his story including how he caught the patch trading bug and what happened during the patch trading protest. We will be on live and taking your calls!

SS05 – 2010 National Scout Jamboree In Review MISS Kris & MISS Shannon talk about their visits to the 2010 National Scout Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill.
Due To Some Computer problems (mainly losing all the files on the Scoutercast Laptop) the scheduled to air episode of the Second Part of Episode #7 will not be aired. But no need to fear, cause Scoutercasters Andy and Christopher are here to talk about Jamboree on the Air (not to be confused with the Radio Station that is up at the National Scout Jamboree), BSA Collector Trains, and Awesomly cool, Coveroos.
Scoutercasters Andy, Chris, and Brian give input about that this will be the last National Scout Jamboree at Fort AP Hill. We also give some possibilities of other locations, with the requirements the next location must meet. Scoutercaster Christopher is also in the background after giving a NSJ presentation to a couple of scouts. We also get sidetracked on some tangents, but otherwise cover much of this topic.
Scoutercasters, Andy and Chris, talk about their experience of going to the 2005 National Scout Jamboree. Since BSA is really pushing the up-in-coming 2010 NSJ, we thought it would be appropriate to tell what well liked, disliked, and the all together experience of the past Jambo.
