The Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that falls before Feb. 8 (Scouting Anniversary Day) as Scout Sunday, which is the primary date to recognize the contributions of young people to Scouting.
Auglaize Bible Church chooses to recognize all Scouts on this date whether it be Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, or Venture Scouts.
