The second Indian Waters Council Endowment Auction was a success. The combined prices realized from all items was $3,962. These funds will go to the Indian Waters Council Endowment, where the principle will remain untouched and the earnings from the investment will benefit Scouting and the Indian Waters Council’s camps — Camp Barstow and Camp Coker — into perpetuity. Thanks to all who participated, and special thanks to Stan and Carol Haines and Susanne Anderson for helping to manage the auction. Their help was invaluable! Listed below are the prices realized for every item in the auction. We have many more quality items to auction, and recently received another donation of memorabilia items to include in the next auction. All bidders from the past two auctions that provided email addresses will be notified of our next auction. If anyone else wishes to be notified, use the contact form below to send me your contact information.

On February 25, in Sumter, SC, we will hold the second in a series of auctions to benefit the Indian Waters Council Endowment which supports Camp Barstow and Camp Coker. As last year, all items come from the generous donations of collections from Joe Turner (Muscogee Lodge Chief 1965-1966, Vigil 1965, Camp Barstow Program Director 1968 – 1971), Bryant O’Tuel (Muscogee Vice Chief in the early 1980’s, Vigil 1982, Camp Barstow Staff member), and William O’Tuel (Muscogee Lodge Chief 1980 & 1981, Vigil 1980, National Vice Chief 1982-83, Camp Barstow and Camp Coker staff member). The auction will take place as a live silent auction immediately prior to the Council Annual Awards Reception. Information and registration for the Annual Awards Reception is at https://scoutingevent.com/553-AwardsReception. Please help spread the word and encourage people to register for the Awards Reception and to participate in the auction. A large and healthy endowment, where the principal is protected and invested, and the earnings support the Scouting program and our properties for generations to come is one of the best ways to ensure our camps and programs continue to be healthy well into the future.

Save the date! The next auction in this series will be held on the afternoon of Sunday, February 25, 2024 on the USC-Sumter campus, Sumter, SC and will be held in conjunction with the annual Indian Waters Council volunteer recognition reception. As the date draws nearer, return back here for updates, including a list and pictures of all items to be auctioned.
4/16/2023 –
Update! The first Indian Waters Council Endowment Auction exceeded expectations. We had 38 bidders participating and the combined priced realized from all items was $8,957. One bidder generously contributed an extra $43 to bring the total to a nice, round $9,000. These funds will go to the Indian Waters Council Endowment, where the principle will remain untouched and the earnings from the investment will benefit Scouting and the Indian Waters Council’s camps — Camp Barstow and Camp Coker — into perpetuity. Thanks to all who participated, and special thanks to Dan and Carolyn Wagner, Stan Haines, and Melinda Clark for helping to manage the auction. Their help was invaluable! Listed below are the prices realized for every item in the auction. We will hold at least one additional auction with similar quality items. The 38 bidders from today’s auction will be notified of our next auction. If anyone else wishes to be notified, use the contact form below to send me your contact information.
4/6/2023 –
Update! Momentum continues for the Endowment Auction. Here is the expected schedule.
3:00 – Silent Auction opens
3:30 – Reception begins
3:50 – Auction ends, no more bids accepted
4:00 – IWC Awards Program begins
Immediately following the the awards program, winning bidders may pay for and pick up their winnings.

In 2021, I was entrusted with two very nice, and mostly local, Scout memorabilia collections. Joe Turner (Muscogee Lodge Chief 1965-1966, Vigil 1965, Camp Barstow Program Director 1968 – 1971) presented me his collection, and Bryant O’Tuel (Muscogee Vice Chief in the early 1980’s, Vigil 1982, Camp Barstow Staff member) brought me the collection that he and his brother William O’Tuel (Muscogee Lodge Chief 1980 & 1981, Vigil 1980, National Vice Chief 1982-83, Camp Barstow and Camp Coker staff member) put together during their tenure. Both collections contain some very rare items that are seldom seen and much sought after as well as more common items that you might expect. After discussing with Joe and Bryant, we will be auctioning off both collections, with all funds raised going to the Indian Waters Council’s Endowment Fund to be used in support of our camp properties (Camp Barstow and Camp Coker). It is very generous of Joe and Bryant to support our camps in this way. A large and healthy endowment, where the principal is protected and invested, and the earnings support the Scouting program and our properties for generations to come is one of the best ways to ensure our camps and programs continue to be healthy well into the future. Because of the large number of items in these collections, I will not be auctioning everything at once. The first items will be auctioned at the upcoming Council Recognition Reception on April 16 at American Legion Post 15, “Legion Home” Building, 28 South Artillery Drive, Sumter, SC. The link for more information and to register for the event is at https://scoutingevent.com/553-awards23.
Below is a list of the items that we plan to have available at this first auction, along with the minimum bid planned and expected bidding increment. Items are subject to change.
