#90 Spirit of Jamboree with Doug Schwab

Scouting Hot Finds Boy Scout Memorabilia

At the 2019 World Scout Jamboree held in the United States Doug Schwab helped to staff the Spirit of Jamboree Museum. In this interview we talk about his experience and the book he published that documented the once in a lifetime display of Scouting memorabilia from the World Scout Jamboree. The book is a beautiful full color hard back with professional quality pictures of all the displays including the text which tells the story. During the interview Doug shares how the museum project came about with Russell Smart and Rick Bragga leading the charge. During the the interview he thanks many more members of the staff such as Sam Fairchild, Dave Miura, Bob Hannah and more (complete list on the Author's Note page of the book). The effort to assemble this museum onsite was monumental and completely lead by a team of dedicated volunteer Scouters and collectors including several from other countries making it a truly international effort.

If you can help me get the podcast published every two weeks please consider becoming a Scouting Hot Finds Insider and support the project as a patron at http://www.ScoutingHotFinds.com. I am asking listeners to consider donating as little as $2 per month (which works out to $1 per episode) for me to hire an audio and video editor. My goal is to continue putting out high quality content for the Scout patch collecting hobby and this is a way that I'm asking fellow collectors to chip in to help. You can find all the previous 89 episodes of the podcast dating all the way back to 2011 when it launched at http://www.ScoutPatchCollectors.com. There you will see that I also publish an email newsletter to over 5k collectors several times per week called the Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter. I've been publishing that newsletter since 2010. I live in Charlotte, NC where I am a full time memorabilia dealer, collector, and active volunteer Scouter. You can reach me at [e-mail].
