I am trying to determine the age of this Boy Scout hatchet.
It has a Plumb axe head and a 1T-BG-14 Handle with the label "Blue Grass", distributed by Belknap, Inc. Louisville KY

Any help is appreciated

This is actually not a boy scout hatchet.

It is a flooring hatchet on a very nice replacement handle intended for a common scout pattern hatchet.
 
Thanks
was going with the information on the handle as a place to start
What makes it a flooring hatchet?
Can it be dated?

I do not know exactly how a flooring hatchet is used and the exact reasons behind it's design ( I have some thoughts ), so all I can really say is that being a flooring hatchet is what makes it a flooring hatchet.
Google plumb flooring hatchet and you'll see it, Vaughan made / makes one too.


Heres a Plumb scout hatchet head, not an official BSA logo head but it's the same head.

This was my Dad’s BoyScout plumb hatchet. The head has a BoyScout logo stamped into it. He got it used from his Uncle in the early 50’s.
