A Scout Is Reverent 1940 - Boy Scouts - Norman Rockwell Print - Heavy Cardstock - Matte Print

Heavy Cardstock • Matte Art Print

A Scout Is Reverent (1940) is one of Norman Rockwell’s most moving contributions to the Boy Scouts of America, created during his decades‑long partnership illustrating the ideals of Scouting. This artwork highlights the twelfth point of the Scout Law—Reverence, expressed through humility, gratitude, and respect for faith and creation.

Rockwell’s composition centers on a young Scout standing quietly in prayer beside a minister, a moment filled with sincerity and stillness. The soft lighting, gentle posture, and careful rendering of uniform details reflect Rockwell’s deep admiration for the moral grounding that Scouting offered American youth. Painted at the dawn of the 1940s, this piece carries the calm, reflective spirit of an era when faith, service, and community were central to daily life.

Printed on heavy matte cardstock, this reproduction preserves the warm tones and painterly texture of the original artwork, making it a meaningful addition to homes, churches, Scout spaces, and Americana‑themed décor.
