[2] Ives was commissioned by the Boy Scouts of America to make this album, which is now available on CD at ScoutStuff.org.

Greg Adams of Allmusic writes, "Scouting Along With Burl Ives is essentially a work-for-hire children's album made for the Boy Scouts and is therefore of limited appeal, but the professionalism and enthusiasm Ives and Bass exhibit are admirable.

The album is unique in that it also provided a short bio of Ives and his early affiliation with professional football.

[5] The collection of his papers at the New York Library for the Performing Arts includes a photograph of Ives being "inducted" into the Boy Scouts in 1966.

[7] The certificate for the award is hanging on the wall of the Scouting Museum in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
