Did you know that Dr. Seuss was a Boy Scout? He was known as Theodor Geisel back in 1919, when he was a scout in Troop 13 of Springfield, Massachusetts. That means that he could have been a Boy Scout when our own troop was formed.
Back before he published his well-known childrens' books, he was an accomplished (& published) photographer. You can see two photos of his that were published in Boy's Life magazine in the February, 1919 issue. Check out photos 7 & 8, authored by T.S. Geisel (it even gives his address).

Now that you know that Dr. Seuss was a Scout, doesn't "Green Eggs and Ham" make a bit more sense? I'm betting he was his patrol's grubmaster when he came up with that one.
