Replica of Statue of Liberty on grounds of the Scotland County Courthouse in Memphis, Missouri.

The statue was placed by the Boy Scouts in celebration of their 40th anniversary. This is one of nearly 200 which were placed around the country. The project was the idea of Jack Whitaker, then Scout Commissioner of the Kansas City Area Council. The copper statues were manufactured by Friedley-Voshardt Co. of Chicago, Illinois and purchased through the Kansas City Boy Scouts office. The plaque below the statue reads:

With The Faith And Courage Of
Their Forefathers Who Made
Possible The Freedom Of These
United States

The Boy Scouts Of America

Dedicate This Replica Of The
Statue Of Liberty As A Pledge
Of Everlasting Fidelity And
Loyalty

40th Anniversary Crusade To
Strengthen The Arm Of Liberty
1950
