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 organization teaches ethical and moral decision-making through the Scout Oath and Scout Law, impacting millions of youths over its 115-year history by fostering personal growth, responsibility, and community service.

The commemoration highlights Scouting America's ongoing dedication to empowering boys, girls, and families in South Dakota, helping them reach their full potential and become responsible citizens. The bill expresses gratitude for the contributions of Scouting America to both South Dakota and the United States, marking this significant milestone in the organization's history.
