Bill > HB06043

This bill amends Connecticut state statutes to officially designate February 8th as Scouting America Day each year. The date commemorates the anniversary of the founding of the organization formerly known as Boy Scouts of America, which has now been renamed Scouting America. By establishing this annual observance, the bill recognizes the historical significance of the scouting organization, which was originally founded in 1910, and acknowledges its evolution to become more inclusive by changing its name. The bill appears to be a straightforward legislative action to create an official day of recognition for the scouting organization, highlighting its long-standing contribution to youth development and community service.
