  3. back in the 80's when i was a young scout we went on a district camporee and it was held on an old battle field. the camp was huge so the council decided they would have a trading post/district executive suite on the grounds with electricity(via a drop cord at least 10 football fields long) so we get the idea that they should rough it as well and "borrowed" a section of cord about 100 feet long. so the rest of the weekend the executives handed out free ice cream and stayed in the dark due to a missing or "borrowed" cord. it's amazing what a missing cord does for spirits of the exec's tring to make a buck!! the ice cream was delicious. mopar 73 mopar

  4. when i was a scout in the 80's the RAMBO knife was very popular but not very functional. my scout master being the wise old sole he was. banned them. we couldnt figure out why. then our troop went on a council camporee and a wanna be RAMBO with his trusty sheath knife jumped out of a tree and the knife should we say found a new home through the scouts leg. after that little incident with sheath knives we all easily and readily gave them to him for safe keeping. to this say he still has them all in his closet. and they will stay there for years to come. he has since passed on but his wife offered them to all of us and we told her thanks but no thanks because he did us a great favor and would never take them back.so my stand on this issue is a small folding knife and a totin chip you cant use one without the other.( a little humor to this situation though is if you have a cornor cut off your totin chip you actually gain one we figured that out as scouts)

  5. i am a vigil honor memeber of muscogee lodge 221 from the columbia s.c. area. i recently began collecting oa sashes. i have just a few questions that maybe some fellow arrowmen could answer:

     

    does the sea scouts really have a blue sash for their arrowmen?

     

     

    i have a sash that is the following dimensions 1 1/2 inches wide and and just over 3 1/2 feet long. the arrow on the sash has a 1/4 inch wide shaft and the arrow head at its greatest width is 1 inch. this is a very narrow sash it also has a stainless snap. has anyone ever seen one of these??

     

     

    and lastly is there a book or website or some form of listing and price guide for sashes out there. i am mainly looking for a checklist of sorts but would really like to find a source of information on all oa sashes that were made and their dates used.

     

    thanks in advance to all who read and/or respond to this.
