scoutldr 732 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Being a little, shall we say, "round"...that was a tough year for me. Lots of jokes. Your tie clip dates from around 1966-68. Link to post Share on other sites
freefallin 10 Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 Thanks I was guessing it was a little newer than that. My Father was a scout master in the mid 70's , and I am a Cub Roundtable Commissioner and an Assit. Scout Master. Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Old Guy 11 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I remember the "Scouting Rounds a Guy Out" campaign as being in the 70s. Link to post Share on other sites
acco40 95 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 I thought we may have sunk to a new low when I read the "need help dating" subject on this forum! Seriously, I've seen patches for sale for about $2.00 and tie bars for $3.00 on various internet sites. Not sure of the date. Link to post Share on other sites
freefallin 10 Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 not looking to sell just wondering on if it ws my fathers when he was a scout master or if he aquired it later in life. He collected lots of things and was just wondering. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 732 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I received my Eagle as an Explorer in 1970. I know the slogan predates that by several years, as I was still in a Scout troop. I will stand by 67-68 as being pretty accurate. Your father may have obtained it later than that. Link to post Share on other sites

Big_Dog 10 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Captainron- Can you imagine the response a Scouter would get on a dating board if he were truly honest. Let's see- - gone camping at least one weekend a month with the scouts and scouters. - gone to a weekly meeting (sometimes 3 per week) - gone to every training that can be found. - gone to roundtable once a month - gone to hang around with other ASM's and work on scout stuff. - most of my money is spent on scout stuff. - boxes and boxes of Trails End popcorn around the house I'm sure you get the picture. I wonder if they would even let a Scouter post? BD Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Big Dog - You forgot to mention the cool threads. Oh well, at least we don't wear the old knee socks with the garters and tabs any more. ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
