The National Scouting Museum

Irving, Texas



The National Scouting Museum has a large collection of Norman Rockwell paintings...
(continued)



Starting in 1924, Norman Rockwell painted Boy Scout related illustrations for the Brown and Bigelow Boy Scouts calendar. He did this every year except two from 1926 through 1965. The original paintings were then donated to the Boy Scouts of America. The paintings were then in turn published on the cover of the Scouting magazine, Boys' Life.

Many of these cover illustrations are on display at the Museum.
