Scout neckwear ties carver to world

It's been a great, great experience. Often when people stop to talk with Bill Burch, their first question is "What's the count up to now?" The question refers to the total number of bolo ties the master carver has whittled over his five-decade ... via Deseret Morning News

How can I purchase a bolo for my step-son as a gift at his Eagle court of Honor??

[John]

I had the pleasure of meeting and watching Mr. Burch this weekend, and purchased bolos for both myself and my son. The numbers on the back of our bolos are 45,543 and 45,727. And he probably carved about 50 of them this weekend.

I have one of a white mustached army colonel that I earn from Bill at Camp Meriwether when he saw myself and a few other boys cleaning up an area. Mine is numbered 17,220.

My name is Gary Dollar and I travel with Bill to various scout events. You can send me an email and I will forward Bill's order form so you can purchase a bolo tie.

I too am looking for a bolo tie of Bill's. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with him at PTC back in 1978. I have a neckerchief slide of his still, but have lost the "old Scoutmaster" bolo that he gave me at the time. I was on staff at the Rocky Mountain Scout Camp when he served during a week at PTC. An order form would be much appreciated, along with a "hello" to Bill.

Yours in Scouting, Rich
