List of Boy Scout calendar illustrations

Between 1925 and 1990, Brown & Bigelow released for sale a yearly calendar for the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) featuring a painting by illustrators Norman Rockwell (from 1925 to 1976) and Joseph Csatari (from 1977 to 1990).

Today a majority of the paintings, including Forward America and Beyond the Easel, are held in the collection of the National Scouting Museum.

[3][4] The idea for the calendar series for the Boy Scouts of America was thought up by an unknown staff member at Brown & Bigelow in 1923.

Later in 1923, James E. West, the Chief Scout Executive, agreed to Brown & Bigelow's proposal for a 1925 calendar with art first used for the Red Cross Magazine.

[7] The calendars were large – 22 by 44.5 inches (56 by 113 centimeters) – and featured a single image for the year; users changed the months by tearing off a paper portion at the bottom.

Due to declining sales, Brown & Bigelow cancelled the calendars in 1990; The Scoutmaster was the final painting created for the series.
