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 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.
