Scout Badge History, Venturing, Patch designing, World Scout Coins and more!
Most of these web pages were the first of their type. Several of the pages have now been copied by others but still bring you unique material. I hope that what I have done helps you become more knowledgeable in scouting for the benefit of our youth.

The Hiker's Clip Art

Clip art that I have drawn or created and am making available to other scouters.
Kodiak-BSA
www.sageventure.com/kodiak-bsa
For over six years (2005-2011), I maintained the Kodiak web site for BSA. With the end of the Venturing Division, BSA was not interested in having the site maintained so the domain expired. Some of the interesting part of the site are still available on the above link.
Navajo Lodge 98
www.sageventure.com/navajo98
With the splitting of Old Baldy Council, Navajo Lodge is no longer but I am keeping the history that Bill Woodward maintained for the lodge. The lodge web site was a 2004 NOAC Honor Site recipient.
Often scouts and scouters like to have a special memory of a scouting award or training they have completed. I have come across a very nice web site with scouting rings of all types: Eagle, Venturing Silver, Wood Badge, Boy Scouts and scouting pendants. The rings come in all types of medals which make them affordable for all - www.joyjewelers.com/modules/boyscout/
Over three and a half million page views on my web site since the beginning of 2004.
