Replicas of the Statue of Liberty by the Boy Scouts of America

Replicas of the Statue of Liberty by the Boy Scouts of America is a collection of nearly 200 small replicas of Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlighting the World) placed around the United States as part of the Boy Scouts of America's 40th anniversary (1950). According to a March 1986 Fact Sheet from the Boy Scouts of America, the idea for the project originated with Jack Whitaker, then Scout Commissioner of the Kansas City Area Council. The copper statues were manufactured by Friedley-Voshardt Co. (Chicago, IL) and purchased through the Kansas City Boy Scouts office.

The statues are approximately 8 1/2 feet tall without the base, constructed of sheet copper, weigh 290 pounds, and originally cost $350 plus freight.

The following is a list of where the statues were placed or are located in 2016. There is also a replica in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

The BSA replica is located in Linn Park next to the Jefferson County Courthouse in downtown Birmingham.
