CARL JENKINS--RETIRING SCOUT EXECUTIVE CATALINA COUNCIL, BOY SCOUTS OF 
                                AMERICA

 Mr. DeCONCINI. Mr. President, I rise today to share with the 
Senate the devotion and dedication of Carl Jenkins to one of this 
Nation's premier youth organizations, the Boy Scouts of America. Carl 
was honored by the scouting community this past Friday in Tucson and I 
want to add my voice to those in attendance in recognizing his 
achievements.
  Carl began his 32 years of service to professional Scouting as a Boy 
Scout himself. Strongly influenced by his Scoutmaster, Carl went on to 
combine his own professional career with services to the Boy Scouts in 
various capacities. Over 20 years ago, Carl began serving as program 
director for the Catalina Council in Tucson. Carl continued his service 
to Scouting, holding various positions in Phoenix, Flagstaff, and other 
Arizona cities before returning to Tucson as Scout executive in 1987. 
Under his leadership, Carl has had the pleasure of watching the 
Catalina Council grow over the past 7 years; the council currently 
comprises 359 Scouting units, and has had to move into new 
headquarters.
  Mr. President, those involved with the Catalina Council are, I am 
sure, somewhat ambivalent about Carl's impending retirement from 
professional scouting. They are sad that he will no longer be serving 
the scouting community but are happy for him and his wife, Carolyn, as 
they pursue new adventures. Despite his departure, his 32 year-long 
legacy of leadership and devotion to the Boy Scouts of America will 
remain strong. As Carl was inspired by his Scoutmaster in the past, his 
example shall serve as a guide to the youth of today and tomorrow.
  Mr. President, I ask the Senate to join me in extending our gratitude 
for Carl Jenkins' many years of exemplary service in the development of 
our Nation's young people.
