Boy Scout Marbles Belt Loop And Sports Pin

[IowaMarble]

I was offered the opportunity to help a local pack of 50+ Boy Scouts earn their Marbles belt loop and sports pin during the next pack meeting. During this meeting, I would like to give each child a bag of marbles so that they can take them home or to school and play marbles with their friends.

I would like to buy a 25lb. box of JABO’s in both 5/8’’ and 3/4'’ if possible. I am not looking for anything rare or expensive naturally as these marbles will be given away to children. Does anyone have a couple of 25lb. JABO boxes for sale by any chance? I have no color preference. I’d appreciate any leads.

If interested, here is a bit more information on the Marbles belt loop and sports pin:

I may be able to help out. The WVMCC and myself has done some work with the cub scouts this past year. I also may have a few left overs,that we gave out. I can come up with the Jabo's you can use. I need to know how many scouts you will deal with. Give me a call or email. If you need my number or email,Dan N.,Chuck G. and D. Becker have it.

Mike,

That is a great story! Thanks very much for sharing with us. I can still remember making my pinewood derby car with my father!

Thanks Ron! I will call Dave here shortly and arm wrestle him for your number. I think I may have the upper hand right now anyway

if I had to do it now I would be sure they got a Marble king cub scout marble but at the time never even knew of the name . Mike
