Lionel's Eagle Scout BSA Boxcar And Any Eagle Scouts Around

paulp575 posted:

I purchased the BSA boxcar (6-39319 - Boy Scouts® "Scout Law" Add-on Boxcar ) in 2009 and think I have every BSA-licensed item Lionel produced. You can take a look at my current collection (still adding some recently purchased items!) here: http://www.dog-walker.org/trains-modern.htm

Thanks for posting your list.  I realized from it that my list had 3 items mis-categorized.

They were:

I also forgot I have a collection from the opposite point of view.  I have about 175 Scout Patches that have trains on them.    One of these days I have to get it photographed and categorized.

A couple of samples

Here are some pictures of my Scouts in my layout.

I butted heads with a crooked leader over his pinewood derby rules distributed being followed, but differing from BS printings.... and his kid went to national not me. His kid should have been disqualified too and #3 should have went, but not ,and the higher ups didn't care, so I quit.

But I still support the group in general and most folks that go outdoors with me are Eagles who always assumed from outdoor skills that I was an Eagle too.   (I think I was the first non-Eagle family born in the 1900s,Native American, boating, and logging type elders taught me live outdoors when I was very young. I've spent nearly a month alone in the woods just for kicks (and the berries )

  That said about 50 pup tents would be cool as there is a very old undeveloped camp just West of the Mackinaw Bridge I wouldn't mind modeling someday.

Thanks for all those "Good deeds" too.

I know that line still makes me late sometimes

Eagle Scout: 2018

I got someone to become certified in the railroading merit badge a few months prior to my ceremony because that is the only badge I ever wanted from the time I joined. Haha

I got my Eagle Scout award in 1962 just after turning 14. My first merit badge was Railroading. The way I look at that award is once an Eagle, always an Eagle, ever to work and act as such.

My sponsor at my Eagle Scout Banquet was Astronaut John Glenn.  

Received my Eagle at the hospital bedside of my Scoutmaster, who was dying of cancer in Kessler AF Base Medical Center. He pinned on 4 Eagles that day, incl his two sons and died two weeks later. Today, I am a civilian clinical pharmacist in that same AF hospital. 

Son is an Eagle Scout, Father was First Class, Grandfather was Scoutmaster and I have his Troop Charter dated 1934  I have my uniform and my BSA Handbook.  

Have the Lionel BSA Set and Add-on Cars.  

2013, I have 2 Of The Eagle Boxcars and UP Caboose.

My dad didn’t make it to Eagle, but he has a Cub scout and Eagle Boxcar in S gauge.

John (and Lad) Nagurney:  John, I had no idea you are a fellow Eagle Scout!!  Maybe when we get together next time (September 19 or later) we'll see who remembers the "secret handshake"!!
