State Rep. Daire Rendon of Lake City recognizes and wants to congratulate the Boy Scouts of America for 109 years of scouting. On February 8, 1910, papers incorporating the Boy Scouts of America were signed and this day became the date celebrated as the official birthday of the Boy Scouts of America.

“The Boy Scouts of America is a profound organization and has produced numerous business leaders, community leaders, and even presidents.” Rendon said. “The skills these young people develop in Boy Scouts can be applied in the classroom, at work, in the household and even your neighborhood. These lessons will serve you well throughout your life.”
