it performs through its contributions to the lives of the
Nation’s boys and young men.
Whereas scouting is the largest voluntary youth movement in
the world, with a membership totaling more than 25 mil-

Whereas the Boy Scouts of America is an organization that
was incorporated on February 8, 1910, and recognized by

cational program for boys and young men to build char-
acter, train in the responsibilities of participatory citizen-
ship, and develop personal fitness;
Whereas the Boy Scouts of America teaches the core values
of duty to God and country, personal honor, respect for
the beliefs of others, volunteerism, and interdependence
•HCON 33 IH
with the environment, principles which are conducive to
good character, citizenship, and health;
Whereas the Boy Scouts of America is a model for inclusive-
ness, with 6 million boys and young men from every eth-
nic, religious, and economic background, including those
with disabilities and special needs, participating in scout-
ing programs across the United States;
Whereas the Supreme Court has ruled that the Boy Scouts
of America, as a private, voluntary, nonbusiness organi-
zation, has the right to set its own standards for mem-
bership and leadership; and
Whereas by promoting and fostering those qualities in Amer-
ica’s youth which form the strong foundation of this Na-
tion, the Boy Scouts of America has made a contribution
of immeasurable value to the welfare of the entire Na-
tion: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress recognizes the Boy Scouts
of America and expresses appreciation for the public serv-
ice it performs through its contributions to the lives of
the Nation’s boys and young men.

health, lack of education, and development challenges and
have improved the lives of individuals and communities
throughout the world;
Whereas the Peace Corps has enriched and strengthened the
Nation by promoting international peace, cross-cultural
