You need to be logged in to a user, then when you logout this file gets executed. Hence the namebash_logout. Can you specify exactly when you wantecho $(date)to be executed? Also you can just dodate >> $HOME/logout.log

echo $(date) >> $HOME/logout.log
can be replace by
date >> $HOME/logout.log
next,
.bash_logout is run when you disconnect, not when there is a reboot.
A reboot is when you restart host, effectively killing (more or less nicely) all it process, database, webserver and so on.
A logout is when you (or any user) disconnect from interactive session, the host stay up, as well as database and the like.
If you want script to be executed during a schedule shutdown, place then in /etc/init.d , then have a link like K01-trace-logout in /etc/rcX.d where X is your run-level (result of who -r).
finaly
Be aware that unexpected shutdown (power outage, disk I/O freezing) will leave no trace in log file.

@Hunter.S.Thompson No, unless you have way to trap which user start shutdown (by way of sudo for instance)...
