The Boy Scout Law commits the Scout to 12 character traits, the 9th of which is always to be "Thrifty." The Boy Scouts were an early and long-time co-sponsor of National Thrift Week. The famous American artist Norman Rockwell, one of whose works inspired the obverse of the coin located in the lower left-hand corner, had a long and deep connection with the Boy Scouts - he painted many Scouting scenes over the years and donated many of the paintings to the Boy Scouts, where they can be seen today at Boy Scout headquarters.
