I like the image of the Eagle Scout rank badge, not the one of the real Eagle. We are Eagle Scouts after all, not Eagles. Rlevse 17:50, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the badge itself is fair use. Fair use rights allow the use of proprietary images to illustrate points, criticisms, etc. As a result, Wikipedia policy is to not allow fair use or licensed images to appear on User pages and the like, as there's no fair use context to put it in. Regardless, fair use rights themselves are slowly eroding - it's not worth the risk for Wikipedia.
 * I agree with you, though; however, we need a public domain image. I don't know what, if any, BSA-themed pictures out there are public domain, but it would be nice to find a replacement. By the way, check out Template:User fox for a long, messy argument about using the Firefox logo. I'm not inclined to follow the arguments all the way through at this moment, but it's certainly pertinent to our dilemma here. -Rebelguys2 19:01, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
