                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 20, 2004

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize fellow Eagle 
Scout Clint Flatt, of Mexia, Texas, for recently being honored with the 
Silver Beaver Award from the Boy Scouts of America. This award was 
presented to Clint for his ``noteworthy service of exceptional 
character to boyhood.''
  Clint is a third generation Boy Scout, who started his Scouting 
experience as a Cub Scout at eight years of age. Since then, he has 
earned numerous honors including the Arrow of Light Award in 1980, the 
God and Country Award in 1986, the Eagle Scout badge and a Palm in 1987 
and his Wood Badge beads in 1993.
  Throughout his life, Clint has remained committed to promoting the 
principles of Scouting. He has provided his leadership skills to the 
Boy Scouts of America in many posts and capacities, from Assistant 
Scoutmaster in several troops to Den Leader and Cubmaster for his son 
Tyler's Pack 698.
  Since 2001, Clint has served on the Twin Arrows Junior Leader 
Training Staff and is the Scoutmaster of the new National Youth Leader 
Training Pilot course at Camp Tahuaya. He is a Vigil member of the 
Order of the Arrow and has served on the Eagle Board of Review for the 
Comanche Trails District since 1995. Currently, Clint is serving as 
District Chairman and member of the Council Executive Board.
  Clint is not only a third generation Boy Scout, he is also the third 
recipient of the Silver Beaver Award in his family. His grandfather 
Leon, his mother Linda, and his father Dick have also earned the Silver 
Beaver Award for their distinguished service to Scouting.
  I would like to congratulate my friend Clint Flatt on this 
outstanding accomplishment. I would also like to thank him for his 
continued service to the Boy Scouts of America. Clint's example of 
leadership, citizenship and community service is a shining example to 
the young men he leads. Through his life-long commitment to Scouting, 
Clint is helping build the character of our country's next generation 
of leaders and helping shape a better America.
