         100TH ANNIVERSARY OF BOY SCOUT TROOP 21, ROCHESTER, MN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. TIMOTHY J. WALZ

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 16, 2012

  Mr. WALZ of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House to join me today 
in honoring the 100th anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 21 in Rochester, 
Minnesota. Troop 21 is one of the oldest and hardest working Boy Scout 
troops in Minnesota.
  Over the years, thousands of young men have passed through their 
program, learning valuable leadership and life skills while also 
enjoying outdoor activities and performing service projects. Over 160 
of Troop 21's scouts have reached Eagle Scout--the highest achievement 
level possible in Boy Scouts.
  The Boy Scouts of America reached its centennial in 1910 with a 
renewed call for greater community service. In 2010, Troop 21 answered 
this call and performed 494 hours of community service ranging from 
trash collection, food drives, and projects to improve local churches 
and parks.
  With the people of Minnesota, I ask this Chamber to join in 
celebrating Boy Scout Troop 21's 100-year anniversary.
