<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 659775, member: 16948&quot;]Congratulations on your endeavors into helping out your local scouts.&nbsp; It&#039;s very rewarding, especially when those scouts make Eagle!&nbsp; I was a merit badge counselor for several merit badges in our troop including, of course, Coin Collecting, and always enjoyed helping those scouts through the process of becoming Eagle Scouts.&nbsp; (I am proud to say that both of my boys are also Eagle Scouts.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Another suggestion, if I may, is that several of the larger coin-related companies like Bowers &amp; Merena, Teletrade, PCGS, NGC, ANACS all give out free merchandise like lanyards, magnifiers, pens, etc., so you might contact one of them to see if they will donate some for your potential Eagle Scouts!</p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;m not sure if it was mentioned yet, but one very helpful thing to teach these new coin collectors is how to properly care for, store, and protect their coins.&nbsp; That is something basic, yet often forgotten when helping out youth learn about coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Any way, I wish you all the best in what I&#039;m sure will be even more rewarding for you than for the boys you help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
