Greetings! My name is Jody Tucker and I collect all kinds of Boy Scout Memorabilia. I've been collecting since my dad gave me his stuff in the early 1980's.
I buy, sell, and trade on a regular basis so if you have an item or items that you are thinking about parting with, I would love to hear about them.
I collect primarily because of my personal ties to Scouting. My dad was a scout as was his father and they both served as Scoutmaster at one point or another.
My desire is to preserve and share scouting's memories thru memorabilia. Ever since I attended the 1983 National Order of the Arrow Conference at Rutgers University, I've been hooked on trading and collecting.
Some of my scouting experiences include:
Summer Camp Staff 1983 & 1984
Eagle Scout 1985
National Jamboree Staff 1985
Brownsea Staff 1987
Philmont 1994
Tamegonit Lodge 147 Finance Advisor 2000-2002
Camp Theodore Naish 75th Anniversary Committee Chairman
Tamegonit Lodge 147 Lodge Advisor 2002-2004
National Order of the Arrow Conference Staff 2004
Heart of America Council Activities Chairman 2004 - 2006
When I have the opportunity, I try to display items from my collection whereever possible. This includes Eagle Courts of Honor, Troop Reunions, Camp & Lodge Events, etc.
Pieces from the collection have been loaned to movie studios for Mr. & Mrs. Bridge and Fried Green Tomatoes. Other items have been loaned to local Museums for scouting related displays.
I am always looking for items such as camp patches, order of the arrow items, insigina, medals, uniforms, merit badge sashes, philmont items, jamboree items, pictures, and patches of all kinds. I do not collect scout coffee mugs, equipment, or books. To see examples of what I collect and trade, click
