H.Res. 1041 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for designating February 8, 2026, as "Scouting America Day" to celebrate the organization's 116th anniversary. The resolution does not create binding law or require any government action; instead, it honors Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America) and acknowledges its contributions to youth development and community service. The resolution highlights that nearly one million young people are currently enrolled in Scouting, over 500,000 adult volunteers lead the organization, and participants contributed more than 7 million service hours in 2025. The bill notes historical achievements including that more than 2.8 million youth have earned the Eagle Scout Award since 1912, and that 11 of the 12 astronauts who walked on the moon were Scouts. Since this is a commemorative resolution, there is no specific funding allocated and it does not directly affect any particular group beyond providing official recognition of the organization's legacy.
