First Boy Scout Troop in America - Pawhuska, OK, USA - Scouts Monuments and Memorials on Waymarking.com

A monument on the grounds of the Osage Co. Historical Museum gives the year and names of the first Boy Scout troop in America. It is next to another monument, bell, and a nearby statue of a scout. A wonderful sculpture of three boy scouts around a campfire is located in the median of the parking lot.

The museum has a room dedicated to Scouting, which you can visit during open hours.

Although the monument does not have a fleur-de-lis, the nearby statue of a Boy Scout does. The uniforms on the scouts at the nearby sculpture display the usual insignia as well.
