                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 17, 2012

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Norman 
Meador for his dedicated service to Boy Scout Troop 890 in Lake 
Highlands, Texas.
  Chartered in 1961, Troop 890 was organized to help shape the lives of 
boys in Dallas by teaching them the principles of Scouting. Over the 
past forty years, Mr. Meador's love of Scouting has led him to serve 
Troop 890 in a variety of official and unofficial roles. During this 
time, he has taught and instilled in many young men the values and 
knowledge necessary to mature and become leaders in their communities 
and our country. Among the hundreds that benefited from Mr. Meador's 
servant leadership are my sons, Bill and Alex; both were active in 
Troop 890 and attained the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout under his 
tutelage.
  In 2011, as Troop 890 celebrated its 50th Anniversary, Mr. Meador was 
recognized for his dedicated service and received the prestigious 
Scoutmaster Emeritus Award. On April 28, 2012, Boy Scout Troop 890 will 
hold a special ceremony at Camp Constantin where a new pavilion will be 
named in honor of Mr. Meador. The Meador Eagle Pavilion will serve as a 
testament of his faithful service to Troop 890 and his commitment to 
Scouting.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask the U.S. House of Representatives to join me in 
congratulating Mr. Meador on this great honor. I wish him all the best. 
May God bless him and his family.
