Strengthen the Arm of Liberty

Strengthen the Arm of Liberty
Photo of a Statue of Liberty scale model replica, about 20 feet tall. It is situated on its pedestal which stands within a star-shaped basin made of limestone pavers, which in turn acts as a planter full of a lush arrangement of multicolored flowers and foliage. The sunlight dawns upon the statue's face, with a background of a treeline, and a cloudy blue sky.
This Statue of Liberty replica, donated by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), is located at Oakdale Park in Salina, Kansas.

Strengthen the Arm of Liberty is the theme of the Boy Scouts of America's fortieth anniversary celebration in 1950.[1] The campaign was inaugurated in 1949 with a dramatic ceremony held at the base of the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World).[2] Approximately 200 BSA Statue of Liberty replicas were installed across the United States.
