Bradford, PA (January 12, 2006) – W.R. Case and Sons Cutlery Company has announced a new licensing agreement with one of our nation’s most important youth organizations, Boy Scouts of America (BSA®). As part of a larger advocacy program for youth education, BSA awards youths who demonstrate knowledge of the proper care and responsible use of pocket knives; concepts which W.R. Case & Sons have routinely promoted throughout its history.

Initially, seven patterns will be produced, each with Jigged Olive Green Bone handles. The words, “Boy Scouts of America” are tech printed with the familiar BSA logo in red and blue on the main blades. The BSA logo has also been stamped onto each knife’s fitted shield. Packaging includes a two-piece box printed with a “fleur-de-lis” on the top. Information about the new Boy Scout patterns is given below:

About Boy Scouts of America (BSA®)
Boy Scouts of America® was incorporated in 1910 by William D. Boyce (a Chicago publisher) and chartered by Congress in 1916 to provide programs for community organizations that offer effective character, citizenship, and personal fitness training for youth (commonly referred to as the “Aims of Scouting”). Today the Boy Scouts of America® serves almost 4.6 million youth with its character building programs, and has served more than 110 million since 1910. Thousands of community-based organizations receive charters to use the Scouting program to reinforce their own youth advancement work. BSA publishes the Boy Scout Handbook (of which more than 37 million copies have been printed), a national magazine, Boys’ Life (with circulation of more than 1.3 million copies), Scouting Magazine (with circulation of 1 million copies), and a variety of other literature used by youth members, adult leaders, and parents across the country.
