HI all Tonight the scouts attended the local stamp club meeting. I had prepared the members and asked that if anyone felt so inclined they could bring in a small lot to donate to the scouts to bid on in the auction. Just to make sure the scouts would have something to bid on I put together 6 lots out of items donated by members of this site.
Out of the 9 scouts participating in the merit badge class 7 attended. Each scout was given 2 "scout bucks" just for showing up and could obtain more by interacting with the members (or as swabbie says, geezers). When I got to the meeting I was totally blown away by the generosity of the members. Instead of 10-12 items that were to be intermingled with the club auction the members contributed over 50 lot items and as many give aways. The club insisted that we have a separate scout auction that was run BEFORE they could have their's.
The scouts had a great time and very quickly caught on to the concept of being "cut throat" when bidding. All scouts did very well and I think my son did exceptionally well, but he wants to post his winnings sometime tomorrow.
I reminded the scouts that they need to sign on here so they should show up within the next day or so.
