On June 15, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill incorporating the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), making it the first American youth organization to receive a federal charter. This landmark recognition gave the BSA special legal status and highlighted its national importance and commitment to youth development.

The BSA was granted a Title 36 congressional charter, a distinction reserved for select patriotic and national organizations. Title 36 of the U.S. Code recognizes groups that have made significant contributions to American society, particularly in service, education, or community development. A federal charter does not provide government funding or control but serves as a mark of prestige and national significance.

Other notable organizations that have received Title 36 charters include the American National Red Cross (1905), The American Legion (1919), the Girl Scouts of the United States of America (1950), Boys & Girls Clubs of America (1956), Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (1958), and Little League Baseball, Inc. (1964). These organizations, like the BSA, have had enduring impact on American society and continue to be recognized for their service and dedication to the community.
