The Eagle Scout Badge

Designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman, this entablature graced the east concourse entrance to the Pennsylvania Railroad Station in New York City. In 1967, as that world-famous landmark was razed, this statuary was given in recognition of past achievements and as a challenge to future generations of Boy Scouts

Dedicated October 6, 1968

Marker is at the intersection of 39th Street and Gillham Road and Harrison Parkway, on the left when traveling east on 39th Street.
