  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States 
Congress, it is an honor for me to rise today to recognize the 80th 
Anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 10.
  In 1927, Boy Scout Troop 10 was founded and chartered to First 
Baptist Church Pensacola in Pensacola, Florida. Today, eighty years 
later, it is recognized as the oldest active Boy Scout troop in the Boy 
Scout Gulf Coast Council, which serves the Florida panhandle and lower 
Alabama.
  Over the course of its history, thousands of young men have made the 
trek with Troop 10 under the leadership of twenty-nine Scoutmasters, 
and eighty-six have achieved the Eagle Scout rank, The Boy Scouts of 
America's highest honor.
  As trustworthy, loyal, courteous, brave, and reverent young men, 
Troop 10 exemplifies everything which scouts stand for, and the very 
ideals that all Americans should strive to attain as our duty to God 
and this great Nation. From the beginning, Troop 10 has won the hearts 
and high respect of the communities of Northwest Florida and their 
presence will continue to do so.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to 
recognize the 80th Anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 10 and its service to 
God and Country.

                          ____________________
