I am a big fan of Maureen Taylor (aka Photo Detective) and her blog. I came across a photo the other day that I thought would be perfect for those interested in a little photo detective challenge. It has to deal with the Boy Scouts of America that are celebrating 100 years this year.

The photo is from the BSA site, is titled Defending Liberty, and is categorized as being taken in the 1910s. Here is a link to the photo.
There are plenty of clues in the photo that hopefully we can figure out where this photo was taken and a narrower time of when it was taken.
Please comment on this blog (or on your own) with what you find.
Good luck!
