RECOGNIZING RECIPIENTS OF THE GIRL SCOUT SILVER AND GOLD AWARDS AND THE 
                         BOY SCOUT EAGLE AWARD

  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, it is with great pleasure that I today pay 
tribute to the accomplishments of the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts from 
Rhode Island. Once again from these fine organizations emerges an 
admirable group of young women and men who have distinguished 
themselves as leaders in their respective communities.
  Since the beginning of this century, the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts 
have provided thousands of youngsters each year with the opportunity to 
make friends, explore new ideas, and develop leadership skills, along 
with a sense of determination, self-reliance, and teamwork.
  The Silver and Gold Awards represent the highest awards attainable by 
junior and high school Girl Scouts. These awards are presented only to 
those who possess the qualities that make our Nation great, namely; 
commitment to excellence, hard work, and genuine love for community 
service. Similarly, the Eagle Scout Award is an extraordinary award 
with which only the finest Boy Scouts are honored. To earn the award--
the highest advancement rank in Scouting--a Boy Scout must demonstrate 
proficiency in the rigorous areas of leadership service, and outdoor 
skills.
  I am honored to ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
recipients of these awards. Their activities are indeed worthy of 
praise. Their leadership benefits our community greatly and serves as 
role models for their fellow peers. If this group is representative of 
our future governance there is no doubt that our future will be in good 
hands.
  Lastly, we must not forget the unsung heroes who continue to devote a 
large part of their lives to make all this possible. Therefore, I 
salute the families, Scout leaders, and Scouting organizations that 
have given generously of their time and energy in support of Scouting.
  It is with great pride that I submit a list of the young women and 
men who have earned this award.
  There being no objection, the list was ordered to be printed in the
