Tonight I hope to participate in a Scouting Alumni Communities Webinar led by Bradley Taylor and Tim Brown. I am a little late to the game on these BSA webinars although when I was a camp director I did plenty. Back in the day I was in APO but I don't think I am a member of NESA. I want to say when I got my Eagle I might have received a free card or something.

• Patch Lot BSA
• BSA Stag Knife China 4 Blades
• BSA Vigil Honor Beaded Sash Belt 52” X 2.75” Handmade

• Camp Sequoyah Cumberland Kentucky Boy Scout Patch BW2
• Blue Water Wilderness Canoe base Trip Michigan Boy Scout Patch BW2
• Discontinued Craftool 1996 Eagle Scout 1" Leather Stamp Tool BSA 8506

My interest in this topic is peaked because next Saturday we are having an all camp staff reunion at Camp Barstow. The four camps from the territory now covered by the Indian Waters Council are included. But even here we don't have (to my knowledge) an alumni association. On our recent committee call I suggested we put out a quarterly/semi-annual email newsletter to these people. In our council Tripp Clark has organized the reunions since 2010 and has a very thorough list.

• Gila Lodge 378-S121 - Elangomat
• Wahissa Lodge 118 S13 1990 Noac 75th Flap Bv
• Tseyedin Lodge 65 A1 Cut Edge Merged 1994 Patch Bv
• Palmetto CSP SAP Lot BSA SC Jamboree Skyuka Lodge
• Lodge 475 Wachu Menetopolis Patch on Neckerchief Boy Scout
• Tamet Lodge 225 F-1 A First Flap Crisp Fat Points to Edge of Sun
• Muscogee Lodge #221 Service Tough Indian Waters SR-5 Dixie SC
• Embroidered Deer Stag Head Patch; Lodge 430 X-1 and Lodge 520 X-1

I don't know what models there are for staff alumni groups or other affinity groups but that's why I want to listen to the webinar. I know that the guys I was on staff with back in the day still feel like they are part of something. But only a few of them have reengaged with the program. So I'm looking for ideas and maybe we can start a conversation at the reunion.
