Summary[edit]

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for History of the Boy Scouts of America
Description	This is the logo owned by Boy Scouts of America for History of the Boy Scouts of America.
Source	The logo may be obtained from Boy Scouts of America.
Article	History of the Boy Scouts of America
Portion used	The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	This is an SVG vector image of a registered trademark or a copyright-protected logo, seal or computer icon. This image should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. The default rendering of this image is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
Purpose of use	The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing History of the Boy Scouts of America, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.
Replaceable?	Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	Regarding copyright, material first published before 1923 is now public domain in the USA -- even if it is still used. So, considered free content with respect to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies.
