This is one of the many Boy Scout of America Statue of Liberties that celebrated the organizations 50th anniversary. This one is unusual as it has two plaques on it - the normal BSA plaque and another dedication plaque. This statue is located on the east side of the square and is on just a pedestal - no surrounding brickwork or landscaping.
