                       Wednesday, April 21, 2010

  Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Glenn A. 
Adams, the current President of the National Eagle Scout Association 
(NESA).
  Since taking over as NESA President in 2008, Glenn's dedication and 
leadership has strengthened the organization through innovative 
outreach efforts and a variety of events, expanding the community of 
Eagle Scouts. On April 29, 2010, his hard work will be recognized when 
he receives the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (DESA).
  Since it was first introduced in 1969, the DESA is given to an Eagle 
Scout that has shown distinguished service in his profession and 
community for a period of at least twenty-five years. Glenn is most 
deserving of this great honor and prestigious award for all he has done 
for NESA and Scouting. His active involvement is notable; he serves on 
the Longhorn Council Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Foundation Board and 
as a Committee Member of the National Scouting Museum. He was also the 
former Scoutmaster for Troop 326 and has made generous financial 
contributions dedicated to providing scholarships for deserving Eagle 
Scouts. Glenn has always led by example and his active involvement in 
his local community speaks loudly of the impact he has had.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my esteemed colleagues to join me in recognizing 
Glenn for all he has done for the Boy Scouts of America and join me in 
congratulating him as he receives this prestigious award.
