Columbus, Ohio - Unknown Boy Scout Monument

The plaque in question (and the rock it is mounted to) was moved to the northwest corner of the Ohio Statehouse grounds, presumably during the extensive renovations that Capitol Square underwent between 1989 and 1993. It sits near the entrance to the underground parking complex on the corner of High and Broad. [Paul Kownacki, 03/11/2009]

Columbus, Ohio - Unknown Boy Scout Monument

The plaque designating the statue as being the 'Unknown Boy Scout' is no longer there. It's apparently been professionally removed, as there's no sign of a missing plaque (screw holes, etc) on the statue's pedestal. The base of the statue is inscribed "R.T. McKenzie 1937," although I'm inclined to think that's the sculptor's name, since it's hidden in back. I was going to ask in the Scout HQ about the 'Unknown Boy Scout', but it was early, and there was no one there yet. It's still a very nice bronze statue of a boy scout, if you like statuary.
