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.
The BSA dedication plaque:
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 Statute of Liberty as a pledge of everlasting fidelity and loyalty.
