            GIRL SCOUTS AND BOY SCOUTS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1996

 Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, it is with great pleasure that I 
present to you Rhode Island's outstanding recipients of the highest 
honors for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. They have distinguished 
themselves as community leaders, service volunteers, and mentors for 
their peers.
  For more than 50 years, artist Norman Rockwell captured in his 
paintings the spirit and sense of America and its people. A large 
number of these paintings portrayed Scouts and Scouting. Few other 
childhood activities better represent the commitment to God, country, 
and community that is inherent in Scouting.
  Providing girls and boys with tools and leadership skills that will 
be useful throughout their lives, Scouting is indelibly linked with 
transforming youths into able, educated, well-rounded adults. 
Activities like camping, service projects, and weekly meetings aim to 
build character, encourage responsible citizenship, and develop 
physical, mental, and emotional fitness.
  The highest honors that a Girl Scout can earn are the Gold and Silver 
Awards, which are presented to those girls who have shown exemplary 
commitments to personal excellence and unwavering public service. 
Likewise, the Eagle Award is the highest honor that can be earned by a 
Boy Scout. Recipients have displayed the highest achievable skills in 
outdoor activities and incomparable service records.
  Behind every Girl Scout and Boy Scout troop is a group of similarly 
dedicated parents and leaders who guide the youths through their 
achievements.
  It is for all these reasons that I am proud to honor the recipients 
of Girl Scouts' Gold and Silver Awards and the Boy Scouts' Eagle Scout 
Award. The outstanding achievements of these young recipients warrant 
our praise, admiration, and thanks. So that we all may know who they 
are, I ask that the complete list of awardees be printed in the Record.
