Lost & Found: 20 Yr Old Boy Scouts Pocket Knife

Boy Scouts Pocket Knife

Today I found my Boy Scouts pocket knife that I haven't seen in over 20 years.

Boy Scouts - Nantucket or Bust

Boy Scouts Rowing to Nantucket

One of my favorite memories as a child was winning a Swiss army knife for selling the most popcorn in my den as a Cub Scout. I still remember the Cub Scout promise as if it was a security blanket from my toddler days. I can't wait to introduce Alex to the world of Scouting and hopefully I'll be a den leader in his pack.  I think my parents still have some pictures of me in my uniform and I will gladly upload them whenever I dig them out from their basement.

I've been thinking about purchasing a handkerchief from Hickorees for some time now but then I decided to be true to myself and go with something that means a lot to me: scouting. 

100 Years of Scouting

Feb 8 of this year marked the 100th anniversary of the Boys Scouts of America and to celebrate this amazing achievement, the BSA produced a video showcasing the history of the scouts. Enjoy!

What Does Your Wallet Say About You?

My Wallet Evolution

As my wardrobe and shoe collection matured over the years so did my wallet. More than just a piece of leather to keep my license and money safe in my back pocket, (consciously or unconsciously) my wallet speaks volumes about who I am and what I wanted to convey to the world. As I recall my thought process behind buying these wallets, I invite you to think about your own personal journey told through your purchases over the years.
