Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This House resolution supports designating February 8, 2026, as “Scouting America Day” honoring the 116th anniversary of the organization (formerly Boy Scouts of America).
The text lists historical facts, membership and volunteer statistics, the organization’s purposes (including religious and civic aims), and its partnership with America 250.
The resolution is ceremonial and does not create binding policy or funding obligations.
As a House resolution of purely symbolic nature, it does not create law; passage in the House is likely but 'becoming law' is unlikely absent separate Senate action or different vehicle.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a straightforward commemorative resolution: it sets out historical context and expresses support for designating 'Scouting America Day' to mark the 116th anniversary, and it requires little additional statutory scaffolding.
Progressives stress concerns about religious language and inclusivity.

Likely strongly supportive.
The persona will welcome recognition of patriotism, service, and traditional civic virtues emphasized in the resolution.
The religious and spiritual language aligns with conservative priorities around faith-based community involvement.
