This is a digital replica of the renowned "The Ideal Scout" or simply "The Boy Scout," created by R. Tait McKenzie, a sculptor celebrated for his iconic works. He first conceptualized an earlier version of this statue in 1918, which was intended to be a symbol of excellence for the Boy Scouts Organization. Later, in 1937, a larger and more imposing rendition of the same statue came into being. This digital bust was painstakingly recreated using photogrammetry techniques from a duplicate standing proudly outside the Center for Scouting Sioux Council headquarters in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
