We have a few hundred stamps (stamped envelopes, really) from around the world, most from the 50s and 60s.

Anybody collect 'em? Free to a good home... —Ted E.

I have some that I'd be willing to part with as well.

FWIW… There is a Boy Scout Merit Badge – Stamp Collecting: Stamp Collecting Merit Badge

These could mean a lot to a youth in our area. Before you throw them away, call the Scout shop in West Chicago and ask them if they know of anyone working toward that end.

If you want, e-mail me. I’ll take them and get them there.
The Scouts were good to me… just trying to return the favor.

What a great idea! G.E.'s Troops are getting a history project rolling for the Scout's 100th anniversary next year. As an official old-timer — I was a Scout here in G.E. when they celebrated their 50th — I'm sort of involved a little from the sidelines. (Still have my Totin' Chips.)

I'll check with my local Scoutmaster friend and then go to the ones you suggested if I strike out. —Ted E.

Thanks! That's a great suggestion!
