  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to announce that on Saturday, 
April 19, 1997, Santa Clarita Valley's Boy Scout Troop 2, will 
celebrate its 75th anniversary. Sponsored by the Kiwanans Club of 
Valencia, Troop 2 remains the largest troop in the valley, with over 
130 boys currently registered.
  Throughout the years, Troop 2 has served almost 3,000 boys and 
produced 65 Eagle Scouts while managing to remain an active part of the 
community. From helping distribute emergency water supplies in the 
aftermath of the 1994 Northridge earthquake to participating in the 
annual 4th of July parade, Troop 2's volunteer efforts serve as a 
reminder of the dedication and commitment of the Boy Scouts of America.
  On behalf of the citizens of the Santa Clarita Valley, I am honored 
today to help recognize the tremendous accomplishments of Troop 2.
