I’m a Scout Leader from Mauritius. I’m collecting scouting on stamps of all countries. I would be most grateful if you can send me stamps from your country for my collection. This year we are celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Scouting in Mauritius and in this context, I’m proposing to exhibit a collection of Stamps on Scouting. Please help me

A photo is worth one thousand words. Without seeing what you have there is no way to know if you got a good deal on your purchase.
You can either use our Ask a Worthologist services, https://www.worthpoint.com/askWorthologist/index
Or you can post a photo or two on the forums and perhaps we can help you there. http://www.worthpoint.com/forums

I have an old boy scout uniform in the original cardboard box. The box is in relatively good condition (one corner is ripped off, but the piece is in the box) and the uniform is in fantastic condition. Includes all pieces, and the box has the uniform insignia guide printed on it along with some ad space and other BSA info. Just trying to get a feel for what it is worth/if I got a good deal.

Someone with some info let me know.

I have a CSP from Illinois that should say “Home of the Founder” accross it. However, it says “Home of the Founde”. I am not looking to sell or trade it because obtaining it is one of my fondest memories of boy scouts but I still would like to know its worth as it is semi-unique.

I was invited as an Eagle, to participate in the 1974 “Scouter of the Year” ceremonis in Wash DC. The SotY was Pres Gerald Ford. I have a Program signed by Pres Ford, and the Mayor of Wash DC at the time. I was wondering what its worth would be to a collector. thanks

I am a collector of BS memorabelia, and my wife is an antique doll dealer. Please send me a picture of your doll if you are interested in selling to jimnshar@sbcglobal.net

As for BSA books, the type of book has great impact on the value. Handbooks from this era are highly desireable in good condition. Fiction books, which were very popular at the time, are not as valuable.

I have a medal from the 1929 World Jamboree. It doesn’t have the cloth portion of the pin but the metal portion is in good condition. What is something like that worth. It was from a boy in sulphur, ok.

I have been a scout for over 30 years since I was 8, and am a private collector. I am an Eagle scout, and I am always interested in adding to my collection. I never remove patches from shirts or sashes, because I believe they preserve the history of a scout. I buy and trade, but I dont sell. I can help you value your items, or find them a new home. You can contact me at JimnShar@sbcglobal.net.
