Base Camp adds Girl Scout specific sites

February 19th, 2008

If you have eagle eyes you may have noticed a small change to the introductory text on the Scout Patch Collector’s Base Camp home page. “The Scout Patch Collector’s Base Camp is a directory of helpful internet resources for pursuing our hobby of collecting and trading Boy Scout memorabilia” was changed to remove the word [...]

ISCA Checklists get an update

January 21st, 2008

Craig Leighty, President of the International Scouting Collectors Association, posted a message to the Patch-L mailing list on January 11 advising that new versions of their invaluable OA and CSP checklists are now available. I was thrilled to read this, since I include links to both on the Scout Patch Collector’s Base Camp, and [...]

New link added to the Base Camp

January 3rd, 2008

While researching information about a 1919 Boy Scout Handbook for a coworker I came across an excellent site that I immediately knew belonged on The Scout Patch Collector’s Base Camp.
History of the Boy Scout Handbook is actually part of the web site for Troop 97 of Fort Collins, Colorado. Scoutmaster Jeff Snowden has compiled [...]

Recently within the span of just a few minutes I received emails from different friends recommending that I check out two Scout-related videos on YouTube.

Links validated, Sea Scout insignia site added

June 9th, 2007

In my daily Patch-L email digest a fellow Scout asked the collective subscribers for a site related to Sea Scouts insignia. Robert Rodgers quickly replied with a link, and I thought it would be a nice addition to the Scout Patch Collector’s Base Camp.
While I was adding it I used the indispensable Firefox extension LinkChecker [...]

Recovering data from patch sites that have disappeared

March 6th, 2007

Every few months I get an email from a visitor advising me that I have a broken link on The Scout Patch Collector’s Base Camp. Sometimes it’s just a polite “heads up” so I can try to track down the new location. Often it’s a plaintive request that I put it back online, and I [...]

Snap Preview Anywhere is optional

February 25th, 2007

If you aren’t keen on the effect that pops up a small preview window of the web page when you roll over a link, the folks at snap.com have made it very easy to turn off. Just roll over a link, snort with derision at the unwanted window that appears, then notice the link in [...]
