What do I Collect?
New England OA Items:
If it's Order of the Arrow and it's from a New England Lodge, I collect it!  That said, I have to confess that this is a newer part of my collection and it's mostly flaps.
1997 and 2001 JSPs:
National Jamborees have been a big part of my Scouting experience.  I attended the 1973 NJ as a Scout (Moraine State Park, PA).  I had the great fortune to attend the 1997 and 2001 Jamborees as Scoutmaster for Mohegan Council contingents.  What made them special was that I was able to share the experience with each of my two sons! 

I got the JSP bug at the 1997 Jamboree.  I still have many holes in that collection.  I did much better in 2001 -- see
my 2001 JSP collection here!
Mohegan Council Items:
As an adult, I got back into Scouting while living in Southern New Hampshire, as Committee Chair for Troop 26 from New Ipswich, NH.  Later I moved to West Boylston, Massachusetts and served as Scoutmaster for Troop 151 for 9 years.  I am District  Commissioner for the Quinsigamond district of Mohegan Council.  I also have served as an Assistant Scoutmaster and Scoutmaster for Greenbar Adventure -- the Junior Leader Training program for Mohegan Council.  I am interested in any Treasure Valley Scout Reservation and Pachachaug Lodge (OA 525) items!  I'm also interested in national JLT items!
Greater Lowell Council Items:
As a youth, I was a member of Troop 159 from Westford, Massachusetts, part of Greater Lowell Council.  I attended Wah-Tut-Ca Scout Reservation in Northwood, New Hampshire, and  was a member of Wannalancit Lodge (OA 451).  I am especially interested in any Camp Wah-Tut-Ca items!
