To all that have helped or contributed to my post on here – Thank you!!
As you may remember I was looking for the Winchester Eagle Scout Boy Scout commemorative set and all that go with it for my 3 sons. Thanks to many on here I was able to acquire 3 sets with the rifle rack and scabbard. These were not easy to find or cheap but I met a lot of different people willing to help me. If I can help any of you with anything let me know
I will do my best to return the favor.
Again Thank you
Randy

Randy and I had a nice transaction about a couple months back, and I can truly say I would vouch for him as a member.
He’s a man of his word! 
Glad you we’re able to finish you’re task, as you did that pretty handily, if you ask me!

I will add my welcome as well! And, it does not reflect it in the very cool, most recent, WACA Collector Magazine article but the latest book on the Winchester Model 75 was dedicated to Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America). The “about the author” picture at the back of the book is me on top of the Tooth of Time summit at the Philmont Scout Ranch. I have photos of my Dad in 1954 and my son at the same peak. Lots of Scouters here!

Randy-My brother asked me about the Scout commemoratives years ago before they increased in popularity.
Jeff- my brother Steve was on the Philmont staff in the mid 70’s, when I’m in Raton I like to get lunch in Cimarron and sometimes take a loop by Philmont HQ and museum. Both of us are Eagle Scouts. Lodge made special cast-iron Scout skillets awhile back, FWIW.

I will be Skillet shopping soon! I got to go back as the ASM leader (follower) for my son’s Philmont experience and, as usual, it was awesome! Although it is not as “politically correct” as it used to be, I have my Dad’s Plumb BSA marked Scout hatchet, my Plumb BSA Scout hatchet from the 70’s and my son has the newer Gerber Scout hatchet. To heavy to carry to Philmont but all 3 have seen good trail use. One of these days I will make a display for them, with hopefully, a few extra hatchet spots for future generations.
I didn’t know you were an Eagle Scout, that explains why I like you, I couldn’t figure out why before 😉

Welcome Randy,
It’s interesting to read the posts by other Eagle scouts, and go back in time and recollect those scouting memories. Like any organization and comparing to WACA, they are only as good as the members, as I was fortunate to have some really good leaders who dedicated they’re time relentlessly.
Jeff,
I still have my BSA hatchet that I used on the 11 campouts a year that we would go on, as we financed them through a newspaper drive collection, and as I was thinning out some things for a pick up by LSB earlier this year, I sent an extra BSA hatchet that was no longer needed that I acquired in a collection purchase years ago, that is currently posted on Ebay.

My sons tried the scouting years ago but the troop was a week organization, and for me I noticed the changes in the scouting atmosphere with time as everything else has done. After I made the Eagle, they wanted me to stay on and help out with others which I did in other ways, but when a fellow classmate made his, and his mother decided to become a leader of the organization back in the 70’s, it was time for me to move on, and I did. Sorry but we called it Boy Scouts for a reason.
Jeff,
You’re 75 Book is sure a nice way to show some of you’re referencing to the scouting affiliation, as I can remember being on a week long scouting camp and working towards my shooting merit badge with my first introduction to a Winchester rifle. The instructor was a very well respected former USMC Sniper that was a very good teacher. My youngest son remembers stories told when he was younger that helped to influence him on becoming a Scout Sniper in the Corps! Funny how life can come around full circle in so many ways.
