Andrew’s logo contest essay: My logo shows a Scout poised on a trail which he has long traveled. As he looks ahead, he sees that the trail goes over the horizon, symbolizing the slogan. Above, the sun is shown with the fleur-de-lis and eagle brilliantly lighting the sky, symbolizing Scouting’s great ideals and the Scout's perpetual journey to meet and uphold them. The text at top and bottom proclaim the organization’s name and its years of existence, displaying our pride in Scouting. Overall, I think it will be an excellent purveyor of how far Scouting has come and how much potential it still has.
