HONORING CUB SCOUT PACK 88 OF THE BSA'S DES PLAINES VALLEY COUNCIL AND

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANIEL LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 18, 2005

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Cub Scout Pack 88 
of the Boy Scouts of America's Des Plaines Valley Council on their 60th 
anniversary.
  In 1930, the Boy Scouts of America created a new opportunity called 
Cub Scouting for boys younger than Boy Scout age. A year-round, home-
centered program used by chartered organizations, Cub Scouting 
emphasizes involvement between boys and their parents, adult leaders, 
and friends. In the multidimensional plan of the Boy Scouts of America, 
Cub Scouting is where it all begins.
  For the past 60 years, Cub Scout Pack 88 has been a cornerstone of 
service in the Des Plaines Valley communities. They have combined fun 
with educational activities and lifelong values. Parents and sons of 
Pack 88 spend quality time together going places, doing projects, 
talking, and reading. Pack 88 also provides a healthy, safe environment 
in which boys learn important values and develop self-confidence.
  For these reasons, it is my honor to recognize Cub Scout Pack 88 on 
their 60th anniversary. I look forward to many more years of their 
continued service to our community and our youth.
