Concurrent with my service to Scouting, I have been an avid collector of Scouting memorabilia with a particular interest in commissioner insignia. Over the years, I've acquired some information on the history of commissioner service and some documentation on various areas of commissioner insignia, but have not found a single document which covers both the historical aspects of such insignia while describing and identifying all the commissioner insignia in all program areas - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Exploring, Venturing, and the various roundtables. This project does that and provides a pictorial identification guide to all the insignia as well as other uniform badges that recognize commissioners for tenure or service.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

    African American Heritage Trail in Downtown Lexington by Doris Wilkinson printed from the website of the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau The "African American Heritage Trail in Downtown Lexington, Kentucky" symbolizes a historic passageway from the site of a 19th century slave auction block at "cheapside" to freedom represented by the Urban League headquarters at 148 Deweese Street. Along the route, African Americans contributed immensely to the rich cultural heritage of the city. Many of their architectural landmarks and historic properties, including cemeteries, may be found throughout the city and in the once rural hamlets of Fayette county.

  • The Search for Isaac Burns Murphy's Father
    The Search for Isaac Murphy’s Parents © 2009 by Pamela Lyons Brinegar, CG1 During his brief life, nineteenth century jockey Isaac Murphy achieved the most impressive thoroughbred racing record in history.2 Sports reporters covered every detail of his exciting, dangerous track life3 and speculated on the extent of his resulting wealth.4 Everything Murphy did was news. When he bought a large home in Lexington, Kentucky, The New York Times picked up the story.5 When he employed a valet for the racing season, it made the front page.6 On occasion, someone would write that he “was not born of slave parents,”7 but then offer nothing more about the early years of a man called “the shrewdest of the spurred and booted gentry,”8 Even Murphy’s own accounts began with his first days in a training stable.9 Speculation about the name of Murphy’s father and his birthplace began appearing in print shortly after his 1896 death, and has continued for more than a century. This search for Isaac Murphy’s parents takes into account the most commonly held of these assumptions (presented below in italics). James Burns Isaac Murphy was born about 1861 in Fayette County, Kentucky.10 Named Isaac Burns,11 he was the son of James Burns, a freedman12 who entered the Union Army, was captured and taken to Camp Nelson,13 where he died a military prisoner.14 Murphy rode his first races under the name under the name I. Burns.15 Although he clearly used the name Burns in early adolescence, connecting him to a James Burns was difficult.
