| What is a Trade-O-Ree?
Scattered around the country are exciting events called Trade-O-Rees (or abbreviated to TOR’s). A trade-o-ree is an event that is generally held in a big hall, hotel banquet room, national guard armory, college or church gym. They are held for the primary purpose of scout memorabilia collecting …… buying, selling, or trading. Some are put on by avid collectors. Others are sponsored by troops, BSA Councils and OA Lodges; while some are put on by scout collecting associations. If you are taking your troop, note this on your tour permit. But, most of all bring your scout stuff and have fun!
Costs:
There is generally a fee for renting a table at these events to formally put up your items for sale or trade. But for novice collectors who just want to come in and browse and trade out of their day pack, there is sometimes an entry fee of $1-5. Tables generally need to be reserved in advance, but walk-ins are welcome without any reservations. It is a good idea to call ahead and speak with the event organizer to make sure all the details are correct.”
