Palms represent additional advancement for a youth who has stayed active in the unit after achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. A Palm is awarded when the Scout has demonstrated Scout Spirit, leadership and ability; has earned five additional merit badges beyond those required for Eagle or for
9576-517: The badge onto the sash. Initially produced on tan cloth, it was later switched to olive for the Scouts BSA uniform and white and blue to match the various Sea Scout uniforms. In 1933, BSA was removed from all of the Eagle Scout insignia, including the badge. The text Eagle Scout and Boy Scouts of America was added to the border, and Be Prepared was added to the scroll. These badges were embroidered with silk thread, switching to cotton in 1940. The production of badges and emblems changed in 1956 to
9709-539: The badge or square knot. The Eagle Scout Award Kit currently includes the Eagle Scout medal, the Eagle Scout badge, a mother's pin, a father's pin and an Eagle Mentor pin. A variety of caps, belt buckles, pins, tie tacks , neckerchiefs and slides, bolo ties, rings, jackets, T-shirts and other items are also available for purchase. Official Eagle Scout insignia is controlled by BSA Supply and requires verification by presentation of an Eagle Scout card or other means before it can be purchased. Since its introduction in 1912,

The first drop ribbon style medal was issued to the fourth Eagle Scout, Sidney Clapp, a 31-year-old Scoutmaster from West Shokan, New York. Dieges & Clust took over production from 1916 to 1920, basing the design on the Foley. These medals also have the distinguishing extra-long double knot hanging from

Pete Rugolo , who had worked on David Janssen's earlier series Richard Diamond, Private Detective , composed the original music for The Fugitive . (Rugolo later worked with creator Roy Huggins on Run for Your Life and other projects.) Tracking music was standard practice at
10241-438: The conviction. Bailey defended Sheppard and won an acquittal in the second trial. Coincidentally, the show's music supervisor, Ken Wilhoit, was married to Susan Hayes , who had had an intimate relationship with Sheppard prior to the murder and testified during the first trial in 1954. The show presents a popular plot device of an innocent man on the run from the police for a murder he did not commit, while simultaneously pursuing
10374-687: The conviction. That leads to the climactic scenes where the truth of Helen Kimble's murder emerges along with an eyewitness, family friend and war hero Lloyd Chandler, who was at the Kimble home and who witnessed Fred Johnson murder Helen Kimble on that fateful night, but was too paralyzed with fear to intervene. Ironically, as Kimble and Johnson fight atop a carnival ride, Gerard fatally shoots Johnson just before he can shoot Kimble. Gerard verbally acknowledges Richard Kimble's innocence, and then he firmly tells Lloyd Chandler, "You can keep that man (Kimble) alive -- but you won't, will you?" Gerard's comments lead Lloyd Chandler to agree to testify. After Richard Kimble
10507-505: The course of the series, Gerard's family becomes entangled in Gerard's obsession with finding Kimble. In "Nemesis," Kimble flees from Gerard and the police in the sheriff's car, where he finds a stowaway -- Gerard's young son Philip Jr. (played by 12-year-old Kurt Russell ). Though as concerned as any father should be, Gerard is confident that Kimble will not do his boy any real harm. After his experience with Kimble, Philip Jr., questions whether he

Between 1957 and 1960, Picerni was cast three times in different roles, the last as Duke Blaine, on the ABC /Warner Brothers western series, Colt .45 , starring Wayde Preston . In 1958, Picerni played a milkman on the ABC sitcom, The Donna Reed Show . He also portrayed
10773-554: The episode "Search in a Windy City". In 1967, Paul appeared with his daughter Gina Picerni in the episode "The Chameleon" of My Three Sons . His autobiography , Steps to Stardom: My Story , written with the help of Tom Weaver, was published by BearManor Media in 2007. Picerni married former ballet dancer Marie Mason, in 1947. They settled in Tarzana, California to raise their family; they had eight children and ten grandchildren. Two of Picerni's children predeceased him. He died from
10906-403: The fictional small town of Stafford, Indiana, he and his wife Helen Waverly Kimble were generally known to have been having arguments prior to her death. Helen's pregnancy had ended in a stillborn birth of a son, and surgery to save her life had also rendered her infertile. The couple was devastated, but Helen refused to consider adopting children as Richard wanted. On the night of Helen's murder,
11039-441: The first bronze, gold, and silver recognitions, Palms are worn in the combination that requires the smallest number of devices to reflect the total number of Palms earned. One gold Palm is equal to two bronze Palms, one silver Palm is equal to three bronze Palms, and one bronze Palm continues to be equal to five merit badges. For instance, a Scout who has earned eight Palms (forty additional merit badges) would wear two silver Palms and
11172-493: The first requirements for service and leadership. In 1965, the requirements for the service project and specific troop leadership were defined, and the number of required merit badges returned to 11. The Eagle Scout candidate was required to plan, develop, and carry out a leadership service project. Minor changes were made to the required merit badge list in 1970. In 1972, the Improved Scouting Program increased to 24
11305-469: The fourth and final season was filmed in color. The series was nominated for five Emmy Awards and won the Emmy for Outstanding Dramatic Series in 1966. In 2002, it was ranked number 36 on TV Guide ' s 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time . TV Guide named the one-armed man number five in their 2013 list of the 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time. The popularity of the series led to various adaptations, and
11438-414: The full details of Dr. Richard Kimble's plight until episode 14, "The Girl from Little Egypt". A series of flashbacks reveals the fateful night of Helen Kimble's death, and for the first time offers a glimpse of the "one-armed man". The show's lead, and the only character seen in all 120 episodes, was Dr. Richard David Kimble ( David Janssen ). Though Dr. Richard Kimble was a respected pediatrician in
11571-536: The honorary president of the BSA, the signature of the President of the United States appears on all certificates. Replacement of a card or certificate can be made by application through the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA). Eagle Scouts are expected to set an example for other Scouts and to become the leaders in life that they have demonstrated themselves to be in Scouting . They are disproportionately represented in
11704-536: The house with Ed, who takes him to a remote bus stop where he can escape from the area. David Janssen's understated, compelling, sensitive portrayal skillfully captured the essence of Dr. Richard Kimble's plight. He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama in 1965, and was nominated in 1966. He was nominated three times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in
11837-482: The last Palm; and has taken part in a conference with their unit leader. The insignia is a small metallic palm frond pin or device that is worn on the ribbon of the Eagle Scout medal, on the Eagle Scout square knot or on the Eagle Scout badge. The Palms are awarded in three colors: bronze , representing five merit badges; gold , representing ten merit badges; and silver , representing fifteen merit badges. For each Palm awarded for five additional merit badges beyond
11970-404: The last Stange version but with the ribbon attached through the clutch pins instead of a bar (this led to damage of the ribbon). A small number of sterling silver versions were made, marked with 925 . In later 1999, the dies were laser engraved, giving a much sharper look and the ribbon mount was improved to eliminate wear. The knot went from wire to a molded version in 2001. In the fall of 2006,
12103-419: The letter of the law, and hunts down his fugitive, even killing himself when he discovers that he cannot reconcile his tenets with the mercy Valjean shows him. Gerard, though, was portrayed externally as a man like Javert, but internally as more of a thinking man who could balance justice and duty. According to some of those who worked on the show, these parallels were not coincidental. Stanford Whitmore, who wrote
12236-414: The manhunt. The series finale, "The Judgment", has, in both parts, in addition to Gerard, Donna, Leonard, and the One-armed Man, also Diane Baker as a Kimble family friend from Stafford, Jean Carlisle, and she leaves arm-in-arm with Dr. Richard Kimble in the final scene of the series. Only the character of Dr. Richard Kimble is present onscreen in every episode; off-screen narrator William Conrad
12369-629: The military, service academy graduates, in higher education and academia, major professions, the clergy, business and politics. Eagles are more likely to exercise for 30 minutes or more every day, volunteer for religious and nonreligious organizations, have closer relationships with family and friends, be in a leadership position at their place of employment or local community, donate money to charitable groups, and to work with others to improve their neighborhoods. Academic scholarships can be awarded to Eagle Scouts based upon academic, financial need and Scouting participation. The application requirement for
12502-463: The mini-medal after service uniforming committees all contacted the BSA and asked them to stop promoting the medal for wear on military dress uniforms. The Eagle Scout medal is not authorized for wear on any U.S. military uniform. Since its introduction, the Eagle Scout badge has undergone several design changes. Scouting historians have classified these badges into nine different designs, with several minor variations within each type. The cloth badge
12635-493: The music supervisor to select as best suited for particular scenes. Also, an original " Dragnet "-type theme was used for Lt. Gerard. In the unreleased longer version of the show's pilot, a different (canned) music score was used in the opening and closing sequences. Also, several deleted scenes were shot, including one, with Lt. Gerard talking to Captain Carpenter, that was reshot. Quinn Martin felt it made Gerard out to be
12768-406: The name Fred Johnson in several episodes; first in the season-two episode "Escape into Black", where he works as a dishwasher using this name. In the season-three episode "Wife Killer", reporter Barbara Webb ( Janice Rule ) discovers that the One-armed Man carries a wide range of identifications using various names. As Fred Johnson, he has a membership in an athletic club, and a receipt for the sale of
12901-459: The national supply division of the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) began to issue replica Eagle Scout medals for specific wear on U.S. military dress uniforms. These medals were designed to be proportionate to other military medals: they contained the same pendant, but no scroll, and a ribbon that had been made thinner and more rectangular in shape. However, in December 2007, NESA stopped selling
13034-479: The new NESA logo. In 1978, Robbins ceased manufacturing Eagle Scout medals and Stange switched to the last design used by Robbins. Minor differences are in the white edged ribbon and the sterling silver markings. In 1980 the price of silver rose dramatically and the medal was changed to silver-plated, die-struck copper. Very early versions were silver-plated and oxidized, thus the scroll and pendant are black. Later versions were oxidized, buffed and lacquered to maintain
13167-545: The next time comes: "He's stuck in my throat and I can't swallow him.") When Gerard finally captures Kimble in part one of "The Judgment", he does not gloat over the arrest, reflecting his respect for his adversary and possibly his recollections of Kimble's past attempts to save him and help others while on the run. "I'm sorry," he says. "You just ran out of time." His decision to give Kimble 24 hours to clear himself in part two of "The Judgment" also reflects that respect and his increasing doubts of Kimble's guilt regardless of
13300-404: The number of merit badges needed to obtain Eagle, while reducing the list of required merit badges to ten, eliminating badges that required swimming and outdoor skills—both of which were later reinstated, and adding the requirement to show leadership during the service project. In 1978, the number of merit badges needed for Eagle was lowered to the original 21, and the number of required merit badges
13433-421: The one-armed man. ("Still the same fairy tale", he sneers.) He also tells Kimble, "The truth is, you're still guilty before the law." Contributing to Gerard's obsession with re-capturing Kimble is the personal responsibility he feels for Kimble's escape, which happened while he was in Gerard's custody. As he remarks to an LA police captain in "The Judgment, Part 1", the show's penultimate episode, "I've lost
13566-555: The opening credits beginning with season two, and in a photograph in the episode "The Breaking of the Habit". He is seen infrequently in the first three seasons, and has almost no actual dialogue until season four, when his character begins to take a more prominent part in the plotline. The One-armed Man is aware that Kimble is after him, and frequently tips off the police as to Kimble's whereabouts, most notably in "Nobody Loses All The Time", when he telephones his girlfriend ( Barbara Baxley ) at
13699-426: The pendant. The engraving on the 1930 version is especially fine. In 1933, BSA was removed from all of the Eagle Scout insignia, including the medal. In 1955 the obverse of the eagle pendant was made flat so it could be engraved. BSA was added back to the front and the reverse was returned to a full feathered design in 1969. Medal manufacturer Stange was authorized to begin producing Eagle Scout medals in 1968, at
13832-434: The pilot episode "Fear in a Desert City", says that he deliberately gave Kimble's nemesis a similar-sounding name to see if anyone would recognize the similarity between "Gerard" and "Javert". One who recognized the similarity was Barry Morse; he pointed out the connection to Quinn Martin , who admitted that The Fugitive was a "sort of modern rendition of the outline of Les Misérables ." Barry Morse accordingly went back to
13965-412: The protagonist never settled down anywhere, and second, why the protagonist tried to solve these problems himself instead of calling in the police. Casting a doctor as the protagonist also provided the series a wider "range of entry" into local stories, as Kimble's medical knowledge would allow him alone to recognize essential elements of the episode (e.g., subtle medical symptoms or an abused medicine), and
14098-545: The rank as well. In the 1960s, the Kansas City area awarded more Eagle Scout badges than any other council in the country, resulting in the creation of the Eagle Scout Memorial there in 1968. In 1982, 13-year-old Alexander Holsinger of Normal, Illinois , was recognized as the one-millionth Eagle Scout, and Anthony Thomas of Lakeville, Minnesota , was the two-millionth in 2009. Hamilton Bradley of Rome, New York ,
14231-607: The real killer. It had its antecedents in the Alfred Hitchcock movies The 39 Steps , Saboteur , and North by Northwest . The theme of a doctor in hiding for committing a major crime had also been depicted by James Stewart as the mysterious Buttons the Clown, who never removed his makeup, in The Greatest Show on Earth . Writer David Goodis claimed that the series was inspired by his 1946 novel Dark Passage , about
14364-404: The realization of a titular franchise . The series premise was set up in the opening narration, but the full details about the crime were not offered in the pilot episode; at the time of the pilot, Richard Kimble has been on the run for six months, having exhausted all of his appeals against his death sentence. While in transit, the train carrying Richard Kimble derails, and Richard Kimble becomes
14497-428: The rolled edge now in current use, thus eliminating the various colored backgrounds. The outside oval was then changed to red. With the introduction of the Improved Scouting Program in 1972 came an overhaul of many badges and emblems. The new stylized Eagle Scout badge with no text was a major change that proved to be unpopular. It appears that some Scouters commissioned reproductions of the 1956 badge for issue in place of
14630-456: The same time as Robbins – they created six distinct models. The 1968 version is very similar to the Robbins version, but the bend in the scroll is much flatter, more like a sideways V as compared to the S on the Robbins scroll. The BSA was added back to the front, and the obverse was returned to a full feathered design in 1970. A major re-design of the eagle pendant was made in 1974 to match
14763-475: The same." The One-armed Man is identified as Fred Johnson in the two-part series finale, "The Judgment". He is also referred to as Johnson in "The Ivy Maze" (where he is posing as Carl Stoker), and at one point, Fritz Simpson ( William Windom ) addresses him as Fred. (That episode is where Kimble, Gerard, and the One-armed Man all appear in the same scene for the first time). This is the only consistent name that they have to go by, and both Gerard and Kimble refer to
14896-515: The scroll. There were 1,640 of this variety awarded, all made of sterling silver . In 1920, the Robbins Company took over production. They produced six distinct variants, all in sterling silver. The first 1920 version was similar to the Dieges & Clust design, but with smaller scroll lettering and the standard single knot. The second 1920 version has more distinctive feathering on the back side of
15029-602: The series to begin with) composed and performed by Mark Heyes had to be commissioned to replace the musical cues in question, although Pete Rugolo’s main and end title themes were retained. The Fugitive premiered in the United States on September 17, 1963. Over the course of the show's four seasons, 120 episodes were produced, with the last original episode airing in the United States on August 29, 1967. The series aired Tuesdays at 10:00 pm on ABC. The two-part final episode, titled " The Judgment ", aired on Tuesdays, August 22 and 29, 1967. The one-armed man, going by
15162-642: The series was original Rugolo music. Library music (either from other classic TV shows or from stock music libraries, as was the case with The Adventures of Superman ) provided a majority of the episodes' scores. For example, Dominic Frontiere cues became common in season four; a keen listener could find oneself listening to such cues from the Outer Limits series during the climactic final episode of The Fugitive . Numerous ominous, dramatic, and suspenseful cues from The Twilight Zone episodes such as "The Invaders", among others, are used to strong effect throughout
15295-508: The series' two-part finale "The Judgment" (in part two, Donna mentions temporarily moving Billy in with his brother to accommodate a visitor). Although the whole family was introduced, only Donna and her family reappeared in subsequent episodes. Ray was not mentioned again in the show, and the third-season episode "Running Scared" dealt with Richard Kimble and his sister Donna reuniting to grieve over their father's death. In "The Survivors," Richard Kimble re-establishes contact with Helen's family,
15428-407: The series. The old pop songs "I'll Never Smile Again" and " I'll Remember April " each appear several times in the series, often associated with Kimble's deceased wife, Helen. What little original melody was actually written and recorded was built around a fast-paced tempo representing running music. Different variations, from sad to action-oriented, would be used, with many arrangements developed for
15561-479: The silver shine. Sterling silver medals were produced from the same dies and from this time were only available on special order. The year 1993 saw a number of changes. The clasp on the scroll was changed from the pin on type to a double clutch back. The pendant was changed to pewter and enlarged due to the lighter rigidity of the material. Custom Fine Jewelry (CFJ) took over the contract in 1999 and has currently created three types. The initial versions were based on
15694-539: The sons of Richard's sister Donna. Four episodes with two parts were aired over the course of the series, all of them featuring characters in both parts. "Never Wave Goodbye" features in both parts, in addition to Gerard, Susan Oliver as Karen Christian, Robert Duvall as her brother Eric, and Lee Philips as Dr. Ray Brooks, with Richard Kimble and Karen Christian falling in love, while Ray pines for Karen. "Angels Travel on Lonely Roads" has in both parts, in addition to Sister Veronica, Albert Salmi as Chuck Mathers,
15827-471: The time, but unlike virtually all primetime scripted series of the 1960s, no episode – not even "The Judgment" – received an original score (i.e. scored to picture); all the original music used for the series was composed by Rugolo and recorded in London before the series was filmed. In fact, many episodes had Rugolo as the sole credited composer for their scores, but only a fraction of all the music heard throughout
15960-484: The titular "fugitive" attempting to clear his name. In the series' first season, the premise (heard over footage of Kimble handcuffed to Gerard on a train) was summarized in the opening title sequence of the pilot episode as follows: Name: Richard Kimble. Profession: Doctor of Medicine. Destination: Death Row, state prison. Richard Kimble has been tried and convicted for the murder of his wife. But laws are made by men, carried out by men, and men are imperfect. Richard Kimble
16093-521: The truth and believes Johnson is going to Stafford to use the information for which he killed the bail bondsman. He persuades Gerard to give him 24 hours to clear himself, agreeing to turn himself in if he fails. Kimble's key evidence is the bail-bond slip signed by a man using the name Leonard Taft, the name of his sister Donna's husband. The man is actually the Tafts' neighbor, Stafford city planner Lloyd Chandler. Chandler learns from Donna that she had received
16226-452: The use of Italian gangsters on ABC's, The Untouchables , starring Robert Stack as G-man Eliot Ness , Picerni joined the cast in 1960 as Ness's number-one aide, Lee Hobson, a role that he played for the duration of the series. (He was also seen in the program's pilot, playing Tony Liguri.) He also portrayed Ed Miller on O'Hara, U.S. Treasury (1971-1972) and was featured as Dan Garrett on The Young Marrieds (1964–66) In 1954, Picerni
16359-528: Was Martin's first series as a producer, also contained both a narrator ( Walter Winchell ) and an announcer (Les Lampson), as did The New Breed , the first series QM Productions produced, with Dick Wesson as the announcer and Art Gilmore as the narrator. With 120 episodes and typically two or more guest stars per episode, the series offered a massive who's who of stars from stage and screen, character actors, and up-and-coming talent. Many guest stars appeared as different characters in multiple episodes. Here
16492-433: Was at this time that Eagle Scout became a full-fledged rank. In 1952, age limits were set so that adults over 18 years of age could no longer earn Eagle Scout and the service project requirement was slightly expanded to "do your best to help in your home, school, church or synagogue, and community." In 1958, the number of required merit badges increased again to 16 of the 21 total merit badges needed to obtain Eagle, along with
16625-452: Was cast as the outlaw Rube Burrow in the syndicated western television series Stories of the Century , starring and narrated by Jim Davis . That same year, he had a role in the pilot episode for the 1957-58 NBC detective series, Meet McGraw . Picerni appeared in two episodes, "Gun Hand" and "Badge to Kill" of the syndicated western series 26 Men (1957–59). He also appeared in
16758-639: Was changed to standard thread in 1989. Later variants increased the thread count of the white stripe to eliminate the visible background. For the 2010 centennial , all of the rank badges had 2010 added to the text. To recognize the Eagle Scout centennial in 2012, a new version was released with Eagle Scout and Centennial in silver and with 1912 and 2012 in gold. Eagle Scout hat pins were produced from 1921 through 1958 with several variations. Eagle Scouts who earned additional merit badges were recognized using Eagle Palms, introduced in 1927. Adults who had earned Eagle Scout began to be recognized in 1934 with
16891-486: Was introduced for Eagle Scouts attending the 2nd World Scout Jamboree in Denmark in 1924 with a design based on the hat pin. The Eagle Scout merit badge was sewn onto the top of the merit badge sash that was also created for the jamboree. The design is quite similar to the current badge. As with other patches of the time, the rank badges were embroidered onto rolls of fabric and then cut. The edges were folded under before sewing
17024-412: Was merely an instrument of the law ... and am -- and Dr. Kimble must be found. In "Never Wave Goodbye Pt. I", he states again, "The law pronounced him guilty, not me." In "Nightmare at Northoak" and "Wife Killer", he states with certainty that the one-armed man does not exist and that Kimble is guilty; in "Corner of Hell", even after his own Kimble-like experience, he still scoffs at the existence of
17157-550: Was originally conceived as the Wolf Scout , described in the June 1911 Official Handbook for Boys . The August 1911 version of the handbook changed this to Eagle Scout . The medal illustrated in the handbook was a profile of an eagle in flight, but was changed to the current design before any were issued. In their original conceptions, Life Scout , Star Scout (Life preceded Star until 1924) and Eagle Scout were not ranks, but part of
17290-457: Was revealed to have been strangled. This is not the method of choice for a man with only one arm; accordingly, this detail was later retconned , with the murder having been committed due to blunt force trauma with a lamp. (In the pilot episode, "Fear in a Desert City," Richard Kimble does state that he found his wife Helen "beaten to death.") The One-armed Man was rarely seen in the series, appearing in person in only 10 episodes. He also appears in
17423-596: Was set at 11 (this was changed to 12 in 1993 with the addition of Family Life). In 2014 the number of Eagle-required merit badges was increased to 13 with the re-addition of Cooking; in 2022, it was increased to 14 with the addition of Citizenship in Society. Scouts must earn the following 11 merit badges as there are no alternates: Camping, Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in Society, Citizenship in
17556-526: Was the name that he used before killing Helen Kimble, when he would presumably have had no need to adopt an alias. Bill Raisch played a bitter war veteran who starts a bar fight with Kirk Douglas ' John W. Burns in the 1962 film Lonely are the Brave . The role was a natural lead-in to his part in The Fugitive. In season one, episode 15, Billy Mumy and Clint Howard appear in roles as Richard Kimble's nephews,
17689-422: Was unable to earn a single Eagle Palm. The Eagle Scout badge is worn on the left shirt pocket by youth. Adult leaders who earned the rank of Eagle Scout as a youth may wear the square knot on their uniform above the left shirt pocket.
