New York: Doubleday, Doran 1941, 11 June Died, Suffern, N.Y. Papers of Daniel Carter Beard Page 3 Scope and Content Note The papers of Daniel Carter Beard span the years 1798-1941, with the bulk dated between 1915 and 1935. The three major phases of Beard’s career as illustrator, author, and guiding spirit of the American Boy Scout movement are amply documented. Items relating to his life as an artist include numerous early sketch books (from 1865) and composition books containing essays and lessons prepared during his student years. Beard furnished pictures for the first illustrated editions of Samuel L. Clemens' Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and Tom Sawyer Abroad, and the papers contain his correspondence with Clemens concerning this work. There is a great deal of correspondence with Charles Dana Gibson, who served as best man at Dan Beard's wedding; and among other figures in the art world here represented are Gutzon Borglum, Howard Chandler Christy, Henry Pitz, Frederic Remington, Norman Rockwell, Frederic Dorr Steele, Lorado Taft, J. Q. A. Ward, S. J. Woolf, and N. C. Wyeth. Daniel Beard came from an artistic background. His father, James H. Beard, was a well- known portrait painter, among whose sitters were Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, and Benjamin Harrison. His brother, Frank Beard, originated the once popular "chalk talks," which were lectures illustrated by the speaker with crayon sketches drawn during the course of the lecture. These papers contain in the Family Correspondence and Family Papers series, many manuscripts of both Frank Beard and James H. Beard, including the holograph manuscript of the latter's autobiography. Daniel Beard's career as an author is represented with the original manuscript of his autobiography, Hardly a Man Is Now Alive (1939) and an extensive collection of articles devoted to outdoor life which range in subject matter from the making of "Billy Bow-Leg Moccasins" to instructions for tying a "Real Sour-Dough Diamond Hitch." Most of the articles were prepared for publication in the magazine Boy's Life, to which Beard was a regular monthly contributor. There is also a great deal of correspondence with the publishing firms of J. B. Lippincott and Charles Scribner's Sons, which printed most of the 27 books written by Mr. Beard. Among his correspondents in the field of literature are Samuel L. Clemens, Hamlin Garland, Zane Grey, William Dean Howells, Edwin Markham, Henry L. Mencken, Albert Bigelow Paine, Maxwell Perkins, Upton Sinclair, Henrik Van Loon, and Owen Wister. The third and most bountiful phase of the collection concerns Beard's efforts to create and develop the Boy Scout movement in the United States. There are papers relating to the Roy Pioneers (Sons of Daniel Boone), the organization Beard established in 1905 which was a Papers of Daniel Carter Beard Page 4 forerunner of the Boy Scouts of America. In addition to the manuscripts detailing the origin of the Boy Scouts in 1910, there is important correspondence with other leaders of the scouting movement both in this country and abroad. Perhaps the most important of these are Robert Baden-Powell, the British soldier who was the founder of the original Boy Scout movement in 1908 and Ernest Thompson Seton, author of the classic nature study, Wild Animals I Have Known, and organizer of yet another woodlore group, the Woodcraft Indians (1902). Among the major figures initially associated with the Boy Scout organization who are represented in these papers are George J. Fisher, James E. West, Walter P. Head, E. S. Martin, Augustus Post, George D. Pratt, Frank Presbrey, Isaac Sutton, and Fred Vreeland. President Theodore Roosevelt's dictum regarding the strenuous life strongly appealed to Daniel Beard, and following the President's death he instituted annual pilgrimages to the grave at Oyster Bay, Long Island. The papers contain Beard's correspondence with President Theodore Roosevelt, his widow, Edith Kermit Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and other members of the family. There are three groups of special correspondence relating to the Dan Beard School, the Boy Scouts, and the Sons of Daniel Boone. The latter two groups consist of letters received by Beard from children who were members of these organizations. The Dan Beard School correspondence concerns the summer camp which he established in 1915 at Hawley, Pa., and operated until the mid-1930s. The letters are inquiries from parents concerning the camp and the progress of their children and purely internal correspondence relating to the financial and logistical operations of the camp.

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.
