hey, i got a certificate from the scoopmeister saying i had completed one of his seminars. does that make me a scoopie or do i have to do something else? oh yes, and what exactly IS a scoopie? and is this really a GOOD thing to be???:)
 
I believe to be a Scoopie you just have to be someone that enjoys Scoops seminars and enjoys pin trading. I do not believe it has anything to do with getting any type of award - it is just a wonderful state of mind.

I do not believe there are any set rules.

I am a Scoop groupie - I am a Scoopie.

I think Scoop visits these boards every once in a while.

Can we ask him?

Scoop - who is a Scoopie and how can you become one?

I think we need membership cards and tee shirts - and of course Bobble Heads.

Help Scoop.

I would have to agree with this statement... No award or pin can make you a scoopie.. Only you can:D
 
What is a Scoopie and how do you become one? Well that’s easy just send me a check for $199.00 and two of your most valuable pins and you’re in!!!

No no no I am so totally kidding, but I’m speaking for myself here kids the other Scoopies may have a different view on what its like to be a Scoopie.

I am a Scoopie because I just adore the man! He has single handedly brought smiles to so many people that you just have to love him. There are not a whole lot of pin traders out there that do not know who Scoop is and once you meet him you will not forget him. I’m not making him out to be a pin supertrader God with a low edition pin of his own to hand out, knowing him will not get you a Scoop pin, many that know him do not have one. He is just like you and me, but I’m fortunate enough to call him a friend, but he’s really more like family now.

If you go to one of his seminars you will learn the fine art of pin trading, and one of his lessons is that it is better to give than to receive.

Scoop helps people by educating them on the fine art of pin making, what is a good pin versus a bad pin, lessons on how to trade and things of that nature, all the castmembers know and love him, and Disney even honored the man by awarding and making a pin named after him. Scoop especially love kids and to make a child smile and light up is one of his specialties. I too love working with kids, well except the one little shark that…. Oh sorry never mind… I too love working with kids because they are new to pin trading and still at the, “I like it cause it’s a cute pin stage, not the I only trade for LE1000 or lower stage”.

Now on to what do you get if you’re a Scoopie well I get $39.50 every time I show up there and appear on stage… no no no kidding again. Actually we just get the satisfaction of knowing that we’re there, we are always goofing around and have a good time, we laugh and we laugh a lot, we get to act and feel like kids. And I go there because a lot of cute girls go to the pin seminars and well…. (Look Donna I was like major kidding okay) am I dead yet?

Why are we Scoopies? Beats me we give up a day or days of our time off to be there, when we show up early he puts us to work sorting those %$^&$ name pins.

See what I mean…

But we meet new people every time we go there, we have a good time, and Scoop includes us in him seminars as part of the family, we get lots of valuable information sometimes a Castmember like one of the higher ups show up and give us pin news that even Scoops Scoop. (By the way I do love you Kelly… new Castmember hottie we met today)

So that’s why I’m a Scoopie its not just a job, cause we sure as heck don’t get paid, it’s a pin adventure.

In short it’s just a lot of fun, if you want to be a Scoopie come to a seminar and you’ll become one for sure, cant make it don’t worry its easy you’ll see.

Disclaimer…

I did not look at any cute women there today or any other day, I’m not sucking up to get a Scoop pin I won the Artist choice so phhhffttttt :p I know I have a Scoop pin and watch in another post what I do with it!!!!! Ohhhhhh what’s that boy up too now.
 
Thank you all for the information. Scoop gave my son and obvious error pin on our last trip down. He is wonderful with kids and we enjoy being scoopies.

The check for the $199.00 is in the mail. (I'm sure somewhere there has to be one. It's just not from me).
