This bill is a legislative commemoration recognizing Scouting America Day at the Capitol and celebrating the one hundred fifteenth anniversary of Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America. Founded on February 8, 1910, by Lord Baden-Powell, Scouting America has a mission to prepare young people for life through character development, citizenship, and leadership.

The commemoration highlights the significant impact Scouting America has had over the past one hundred fifteen years, fostering personal growth, responsibility, and community service among millions of youths. It emphasizes the organization's ongoing commitment to empowering the youth and families of South Dakota, helping them reach their full potential and become engaged citizens. The bill concludes with a formal recognition by the One Hundredth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, celebrating Scouting America's contributions to the state and the nation.
