Illinois Boy Scout and Girl Scout License Plates

On August 22, 2007, the Governor of Illinois signed into law Public Act 95-0320 commonly known as the Boy Scout & Girl Scout License Plate bill.

This Act creates four (4) passenger license plates: Boy Scout; Eagle Scout; Girl Scout; & Gold Award. For each plate purchased, $25.00 is deposited into a special fund with the Secretary of State. Upon yearly appropriation, the $25.00 is issued as grants to the Illinois Councils of the Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts on a pro rata basis, according to the number of each type of plate sold. Grants shall be made to the county division in which the plates are sold. You must have proof of attaining the rank of Eagle or Gold Award in order to obtain the corresponding plate. This Act takes effect January 1, 2008.

In order to establish the plates a minimum of 850 people need to return the request form to the Secretary of State's office indicating their interest in the Boy Scout License Plate by January 1st! It’s not an order; just an expression of interest. Please share this request form and encourage all Scouters to return the filled out form to the Secretary of State. A form is available to be faxed or e-mailed to the Secretary of State in order to begin the count toward the 850.

Please spread this information to your Scouting friends to help generate interest and get the word out.
