 RECOGNIZING RONALD BROWN ON HIS 48 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE BOY SCOUTS 
                               OF AMERICA

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a man 
who has served the youth of America in the professional service of the 
Boy Scouts of America. Ronald Brown currently serves as the Area 6 
Director of the Northeast Region Boy Scouts of America. Ron retires on 
April 1 after an astounding 48 years of service.
  Ron's BSA career started in 1963 as a District Executive in 
Birmingham, Alabama. He has served as a Field Director, Camping 
Director, Director of Support Services, Director of Field Services, 
Scout Executive, and Area Director. Ron's service has led him from 
Alabama to posts in Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and even 
Germany.
  Ron received his bachelor of arts degree in mathematics from Miles 
College in Birmingham, Alabama. He has been a frequent staff member or 
instructor at jamborees, camp schools and numerous other BSA training 
events. Ron Brown has served the youth of this Nation through the Boy 
Scouts of America with great distinction. I wish Ron and his wife Ann 
all the best in retirement.
  Well done, Scouter.
