This new GeoArt is in honor of a movement that is over 110 years old. The Boy Scouts now known as Scouts B.S.A is full of history and this GeoArt will test your skill on what you know.

If you answer correctly, you will eventually have a very nice piece of artwork on your map.

Here is your question…

The imagery of Scouting rank badges features icons that are well-recognized by Americans everywhere and each one has meaning. The background design of the First Class Badge is ahaped like the north point on an old compass; it is known as a trefoil (flower with three leaves) or a fleur-de-lis (the French name for an iris flower).

It is the basic shape of the badges worn by Scouts in other countries.

The design on the First Class Scout badge signifies a Scout's ability to point the right way in life just as a compase does in the wilderness.

The three points of the fleur-de-lis like the three raised fingers of the Scout represent the three points of the Scout oath?

What are the three points?

1. Duty to God and Country  N 30 23.956 W 082 18.756

2. Duty to others  N 30 23.456 W 082 18.356

3. Duty to self  N 30 23.756 W 082 18.526

4. All of the above  N 30 23.856 W 082 18.926
