                        Tuesday, October 4, 1994

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker today I wish to honor H. Louis Chandler, an 
outstanding Missourian, for his dedicated services to the Boy Scouts of 
America. For the past 56 years, Mr. Chandler has not only been an 
active member but a constant participant in Scouting.
  Mr. Chandler joined scouting in the late 1930's and received the 
Eagle Scout Award in 1941. Throughout his lifetime involvement with the 
Scout troops, he has been an assistant scoutmaster, a member if the 
troop committee, and has served as a unit commissioner. His recent 
involvement in the Scouts is with the district committee of the Blue 
Elk District. He is also a member of the Alpha Phi Omega National 
Scouting Services Fraternity and has been a church organist for several 
churches throughout the Independence area.
  He has received many awards from the Scouts. From the Catholic 
Church, he has been given the Scouter's Award, the Bronze Pelican, and 
the Adult Religious Award. In 1993, he was given the Award of Merit and 
in 1994 was awarded the Paul D. Ahred Award for distinguished service 
to scouting. Other awards include the Silver Beaver, and the Silver 
Wreath Award.
  Initiated as a brave into the Tribe of Mic-O-Say in 1941, his 
greatest achievement has been an honor camping program at the H. Roe 
Bartle Scout Reservation near Osceola, MO. In 1970 he was made medicine 
man and in 1980 he was bestowed the title of senior medicine man.
  Through the years, Mr. Chandler has shown dedication to all that he 
has done with the Boy Scouts of America. I urge my colleagues to join 
me in commending this great Missourian for all that he has done.
