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 aims 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 long history and fostering personal growth, responsibility, and community service.

The commemoration highlights Scouting America's ongoing commitment to empowering boys, girls, and families in South Dakota, helping them reach their full potential and become responsible 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 both the state and the nation over the past one hundred fifteen years.
