Bill > HRes1041

This resolution supports the designation of "Scouting America Day" to celebrate the 116th anniversary of the organization's incorporation on February 8, 1910. Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America, was founded to teach youth self-reliance, character, ethical decision-making, and civic leadership through its Scout Oath and Law. The resolution highlights Scouting America's long history, including its federal charter granted by Congress in 1916, the significant number of Eagle Scouts who have earned the award, and the organization's contributions to national service and leadership development, noting that many prominent figures, including astronauts, have participated in Scouting. It also acknowledges the extensive volunteer efforts and the organization's role in the America 250 initiative, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States.
