2011 - 03 - 31 - Clothed Boy Scout & Naked Scoutmaster

            In 1964, the Boy Scouts of America were allowed to put a statue on public land in DC near the National Mall. Boy Scouts all over America contributed their dimes to help fund the monument. 

According to the National Park Service's website, the ripped naked man standing beside the (clothed) young Boy Scout "symbolizes physical, mental, and moral fitness, love of country, good citizenship, loyalty, honor, courage, and clean living. He carries a helmet, a symbol of masculine attire and a live oak branch, a symbol of peace and of strength."

The Smithsonian's inventory of public art describes him as "a nearly nude male figure carrying a bundle of leaves and some drapery in his proper left arm. A bit of the drapery is blown across his middle. He strides forward with his proper right leg in front."
