The “Circle” centers around a scale model of the Statue of Liberty, which is one of only 16 presented to various members of Congress and/or state governors in 1951. This particular Lady Liberty was presented to the Scout Council by then-U.S. Congressman and House Speaker Sam Rayburn of Bonham. The area surrounding the statue includes four flagpoles (for U.S., Oklahoma, Texas and Boy Scout Council Flags) inside individual circles, enclosed by a larger circle, all interconnected with a pathway of bricks.
The bricks mentioned above lead, from all four directions, to the base of our Liberty Sister. Each brick contains the name of Eagle Scouts, Silver Beaver Award recipients and Vigil Order of the Arrow members from the council. You can read the entire article here.
