          CONCERNING THE ONE HUNDRED FOURTH ANNIVERSARY
       OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. 
       
       
          WHEREAS, The Boy Scout Movement was first started in England
       by Lord Robert Baden-Powell; and
       
          WHEREAS, On February 8, 1910, William D. Boyce filed
       incorporation papers for the Boy Scouts of America in the District of
       Columbia; and
       
          WHEREAS, Mr. Boyce proposed that one of the purposes of the Boy
       Scouts of America would be to teach boys patriotism, courage, and
       self-reliance; and
       
          WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America instills young men with the
       values and mores of the Scout Oath and Law, which encourage them to
       make ethical and moral choices over the course of their lives; and
       
          WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America represents an investment in
       the future of America's sons and contributes to the moral and mental
       health of our nation; and
       
          WHEREAS, The Scout Law directs that a Scout be trustworthy, loyal,
       helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean,
       and reverent; and
       
          WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America is the nation's foremost
       youth program of character development and value-based leadership
       training; and
       
          WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America is a founding agency of the
       United Way; and
       
          WHEREAS, Between 1910 and 2013, more than 110 million youths
       have participated in the Boy Scouts of America, and currently there are
       3 million participants in 110,219 scouting units; and
       
          WHEREAS, Colorado Springs held the "Golden Jubilee" Boy Scouts
       Jamboree in 1960 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Boy
       Scouts of America, and visitors to the Jamboree included President
       Dwight D. Eisenhower; and
       
          WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America provides an educational
       program for boys to build character, learn the responsibilities of
       participating in citizenship, and develop personal fitness; and
       
          WHEREAS, To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, the Boy Scouts
       stand not in the silent testimony of bronze or stone, but as an institution
       guiding and shaping the lives and thoughts of men; now, therefore,
       
          Be It Resolved by the Senate of the Sixty-ninth General Assembly of
       the State of Colorado, the House of Representatives concurring herein:
       
          That we, the members of the Colorado General Assembly, recognize
       the 104th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America and the millions of
       people who have been a part of this organization over the years.
       
                    Be It Further Resolved, That copies of this Joint Resolution be sent to
       the Denver Area Council, Pikes Peak Council, Longs Peak Council,
       Western Colorado Council, and Rocky Mountain Council of the Boy
       Scouts of America.
