\"rockwellwall\"<\/a>Many Boy Scout councils use incentives during their Friends Of Scouting campaigns. During the last several years, our council has used special council strip patches to entice donors to give a little more. Each year’s patch features a different point of the Scout Law. Of course, since I collect patches, I am one of those people who end up giving enough to get the patch. Or two.<\/p>\n

Before there were patches, our council used a different Norman Rockwell Scouting themed print each year as an\u00a0incentive for the upper tiers of giving. These framed 11″ x 17″ prints were fairly popular. At least they were with me. I own all 15 prints. (I own doubles of a few of them after a family that used to be involved with Scouting\u00a0decided to clean house and offered their collection to me.) Actually, 14 prints were of Norman Rockwell artwork. The one for 2010 used a painting by\u00a0Joseph Csatari created for the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America.<\/p>\n

All fifteen\u00a0prints are found in my home office. The doubles I have on the wall of my office at work. Did I use these in Scouting displays as I did with the print sets I wrote about in the previous articles? Yes, I did, but not very often. After all, these are\u00a0framed and contain glass, so I had to be more careful of were they would be used.<\/p>\n

The photo shows the prints on the wall. They are hung in the order as I received them, from left to right, top to bottom. At least I am pretty sure that is the order. There have been a couple times they have all been off the wall so I may have a couple mixed up. If you don’t tell anyone, I won’t either.<\/p>\n

Has your council ever used framed prints as incentives in its F.O.S. drives? How many have you collected? Leave a comment below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
