Boy Scout Commemorative Tribute

The Boy Scout Commemorative Tribute is a 1964 public artwork by American sculptor Donald De Lue, located on The Ellipse within The White House and President's Park in Washington, D.C., United States.

[1] The sculpture consists of three bronze figures: a Boy Scout in the center wearing a uniform stepping forward and carrying a walking stick in his left hand.

The male figure exemplifies physical, mental, and moral fitness, love of country, good citizenship, loyalty, honor, and courage.

[1] In 1959, the 50th anniversary year of Scouting, Lyndon B. Johnson, then Senate majority leader, introduced a measure to establish the memorial.

It was dedicated on November 7, 1964 and accepted by Associate Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark who celebrated his 50th anniversary of being an Eagle Scout on that day.
