Portion used	cropped for Wikipedia by User:JGHowes
Low resolution?	Low
Purpose of use	FAIR USE RATIONALE Its use here is entirely encyclopedic in nature, solely in the Wikipedia article about this notable person, exemplifying the high esteem in which Hillcourt was held by the Boy Scouts of America and his lifelong affinity for the outdoors, more capably than mere prose alone can convey to the reader. This image is a greatly reduced size, low resolution image of the subject. As such, it is non-reproducible for commercial purposes. Use of this reduced resolution image does not limit the ability of the copyright owner, the Boy Scouts of America, to market or sell their product(s), nor will it diminish the value of the original media to the Copyright Holder. As the person is deceased, no free image is possible. Meets all criteria in WP:NFCC
Replaceable?	Not replaceable; the individual is deceased.
