ScoutQuest

Scouts on a quest for action, adventure, and treasure scoured the nation's capital July 24-25, 2010 during ScoutQuest! They were able to uncover clues that unlocked the link between Scouting and some of our greatest national treasures in an interactive citywide hunt, held in partnership with some of the greatest museums in the world.

Using QR Codes

It's as easy as taking a picture! When you snap a photo of a Quick Response (QR) code with a smartphone, it reveals a hidden message. Several free applications are available that can read the codes like i-nigma, BeeTagg, or the Zxing Reader. During ScoutQuest, guides equipped with HTC Aria smartphones were on hand so everyone could play the game.

Boy Scout Commemorative Tribute Memorial, National Park Service

Hours 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
www.nps.gov/whho
Memorial is open 24 hours

The memorial to the Boy Scouts of America stands on the site of the first national Scout jamboree in 1937. It is one of the few memorials in Washington, D.C. that commemorates a living cause. The memorial was authorized by Congress and erected in recognition of the BSA's fiftieth anniversary.

The funds to build this memorial were raised by Scout units throughout the United States, and each donor signed one of several scrolls that were placed in the pedestal of the statue.

The bronze statue consists of three figures. The Boy Scout represents the aspirations of all past, present, and future Scouts throughout the world. The male figure exemplifies physical, mental, and moral fitness, love of country, good citizenship, loyalty, honor, and courage. The female figure symbolizes enlightenment with the love of God and fellow man, justice, freedom, and democracy. The Scout Oath is engraved on the pedestal.

The Boy Scout Memorial is located along the southern trail of President's Park and is maintained by the National Park Service.
