Outdoors With Daniel Carter “Uncle Dan” Beard
Daniel Carter Beard (June 21, 1850-June 11, 1941) was an American illustrator, author, and outdoor enthusiast who was a pioneer of the youth scouting movement in the United States. Inspired by the rugged traditions of the American frontier, Beard founded the Sons of Daniel Boone in 1905, later merging his organization into the Boy Scouts of America when it was founded in 1910. Beard became one of the first National Scout Commissioners of the Boy Scouts and served it for 30 years. He later became the editor of Boys’ Life magazine, the BSA official magazine, and wrote a monthly column for youth. He wrote and illustrated more than 20 books sharing his love for all aspects of the outdoor life, and was affectionately known as “Uncle Dan” to those who knew him well.
