In Publication: 1914-1927, Cover artwork: J.C. Leyendecker, Author: BSA Editorial Committee, Copies: 2,610,471, Trivia: Scouting’s roots in sustainability are more than a century old! In 1914, BSA introduced the very first William T. Hornaday medals, awarded to Scouts for conservation service. Published in 1914, this version came packed with exciting new content like map and compass skills, conservation and nature, woods tools, troop leader positions, the Scout handclasp, and proper uniform wear. Scouts couldn’t get enough of the new skill descriptions and guidelines, and more than 2 million copies of the second edition were printed.
