(KLZA)--Richardson County Commissioners approved a request from Kyle Daake, a member of Boy Scout Troop #396 for permission to clean the statue on the Courthouse lawn to complete his requirements to earn the Eagle Scout Award during their May 3, meeting.
Daake said the statue which is called “Strengthen the Arm of Liberty” was part of a campaign to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. It is estimated that only 100 – 200 of the statues made between 1949 and 1952 remain standing and on display across the country.
Daake plans to use a special cleaner to bring back the shine of the statue and then apply a protective wax.
