Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays … from our family to yours!

We started this project in February (following several months of planning) and, needless to say, we feel that it’s been a huge success. We have more than 100 regular subscribers to our podcast, a growing community of wiki contributors, and lots more planned for the coming year.

So thank you, ClothTalk listeners, for helping us make this little project a success. We look forward to another year of bringing you the history of Scouting through collectibles.
