don't worry Byrnedfish your list is more than welcomed.

I'll try to manage a couple of trades and i'll look at ebay also.

 

Thank you again

[+ScoutingWV]

I may be able to help with at least one item on that list.

 

Email me through my profile if interested.

I sure would like to get some sort of scout coin for my son Zack..preferably the 'Be Prepared' coin as it's most universal. I found a scout coin being sold on eBay for a hiking fundraiser and they were charging $17.00 for shipping! I emailed as there must have been some mistake and he told me that it weighs 14oz. That must be some huge coin.

That must have been a mistake...or an attempt to profit from the shipping. You're basically paying for the coin AND the shipping with that fee!!

 

ScoutingWV....VERY generous of you...and a BEAUTIFUL coin as well!!

[+gardengorilla]

yes it's too bad if they are trying to rip people off that way...not in the scouting spirit at all. but at least they are posting the shipping.

[+ScoutingWV]

I bought the standard BSA "Be Prepared" coin at my local scout shop for about $3.

Oh yes, I bought him that one for investiture and also the one with the promise on it.

I am also a leader with Girl Guides in Calgary....I know there are no too many Guide geocoins out there and I am currently working on one that would involve the logo of the Calgary Girl Guides...of course I am waiting for their permission to do this so who knows when I'll be able to go ahead with this project

[+Degai]

Wow, ByrnedFish, if I ever need information on scouting coins, I'll know whom to ask.

 

Scouting WV, very generous of you. As I have told you before, you are awesome and the scouting world should be happy to count you among them.

[+AtwellFamily]

I talked to C&P the other day and they received approval to sell the "Be Prepared" geocoin. Needed to deal with some issues which I think have been all worked out, it should be one thero site again soon.

 

The is the Artist Edition in Antique Silver. Don't quote me but I think they well selling gold and antique bronze. This is also one with the troop number. the trackable have the tracking number there and the words trackable at geocaching.com below the banner.

 

[+gardengorilla]

Sweet. I thought we totally missed out on this one. Zack will be thrilled. Are Atwells a scouting family as well?

wow I am so happy about this. I have been trying to get this trackable one for my son's eagle ceremony as a gift. Is there a link where we can purchase them?

 

ps. If anyone else has coins they would like to "gift" a new Eagle please PM me! These coins will never been sold or traded!!! His GC name is general viper.

Both my brother and I are Eagle Scouts. I worked at a scout camp in Colorado for a number of summers. The coin in the picture is 1 of 100 that I had made for the troop I was part of in Cheyenne, WY. I presented them with the box. Not sure what they plan to do with them but here are a few ideas:

1. Present one to every kids in the troop
   
2. Present to Eagle Scouts when they achive that rank (kind of like a challenge coin)
   
3. Someone mentioned buying some and giving to those scouts that help you along your scouting path
   

I am very proud of the design and glad that C&P were able to work out the details.

Is there any reason why they wouldn't mint the new version in some type of silver? I know in scouting silver is the highest for an Eagle Scout. I know a lot of people like to get these for Eagle Scouts (My older son is an Eagle with all 3 palms) and they would like a silver version more than a gold or bronze color. I guess the silver is just more symbolic to the highest honor in scouting. I know I bought all of the metals when they came out and I liked all of the versions.

Oh - THAT "Be Prepared" coin. Yeah, that would be a nice gift. It wasn't out when my son got his eagle. I found a silver BSA coin (can't remember the vendor - seems like it was in California) we engraved with his award date.

 

I've got one of these "Be Prepared coins now and really like the way it turned out.

Well, I am the Artist and the Artist Edition was the Antique Silver. I only had so many made and sold them all. Might get some more but for now I don't have any available. As far as I am concerned C&P should not have any either, like I said AE version.

HMM...I guess Scouts is a little different in Canada. Our equivalent of the "Eagle Scout" award is the Chief Scout award. My son is on his way to getting that this year!

[general_tupperware]

There were 2 jamborees that had coins this year. One of them was British Columbia's Pacific Jamboree, and I'm not sure what the other was.

What did you mean, "As far as I am concerned C&P should not have any either. . ."? Did you mean they shouldn't have any of the scout coins? Also, I'm not sure what an AE version is, but I know I got some type of silver scout coin from C&P a while back.

AE is Artist Edition and I should be the only one who could get that finish. That is what I meant by C&P shoul dnot have any antique silver.

I am officially an Eagle Scout as of last night!!! I had my final board of review. My troop now has 70 eagles in 95 years, including 9 in 2007 alone.

 

I have *almost* all of the scouting coins listed in this thread (missing the TMOCM), and they are all great.

I can help you fix that problem Send me your address and a coin will be in the mail to you ASAP.

Congratulations on your Eagle rank, you will be surprised what obtaining that rank will do for you in life. My oldest son got his first job mainly because they saw Eagle Scout on his application.

I recently found out it was not girl guides of Canada but girl guides of alberts that did this release

[Narcosynthesis]

Are there any pictures of most of these coins?

 

As a scout leader here in the UK it would be cool to see what is out there under the scouting banner, even if I can't afford to buy them...

I have a spare of the offical BSA 2010 coin for their "Get In The Game" for the new Geocaching Merit badge. Let me know if you are interested in a trade.
