Honorary Scouts
In 1911, President William Howard Taft accepted the position of
honorary president of the BSA, and each U.S. president since has
served. Theodore Roosevelt was the only honorary vice-president, as
he had left office before the honorary presidency began.
In 1927, the Boy Scouts of America created Honorary Scouts to
distinguish "American citizens whose achievements in outdoor
activity, exploration and worthwhile adventure are of such an
exceptional character as to capture the imagination of boys...".
