Scouting is blessed with many founders. Many of the ones throughout history are no longer around to sincerely thank for their service. There are leaders within your unit that should be recognized for their service as a new unit organizer or founder. It is our job to find them and thank them. Many times this is Directly your charter organization. They deserve our appreciation and respect. After all, they are the ones that keep your unit going year after year. Scouts should take a moment to thank their parents for supporting them in scouting. Founders can be identified by the William D. Boyce NewUnit Organizer Square Knot Award. All scouts in the original charter of the unit are permitted to wear the founder's number Patch under their unit number on their uniform.
