                         HON. ROBERT E. ANDREWS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 25, 2013

  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Audubon's 
Boy Scout Troop 88. This troop was founded in 1965 by Eagle Scout 
Chairman Bob Beetle, along with Al Murray, Joe Kranz, Bill Holland, and 
Jack Rex. At last Thanksgiving's Audubon football game, the troop and 
the tireless work of the founder Bob Beetle, was honored as the Troop 
88 banner was dedicated and raised at halftime. The true legacy of Mr. 
Beetle and this troop is the perpetuation of resourceful skills and the 
instillation of strong leadership values. The boy scouts are an 
outstanding opportunity for the young gentlemen of South Jersey to 
develop through service to their community. Troop 88 initiates many 
projects within the community including: Food Drives and help with the 
South Jersey Food bank, a 9/11 Ceremony at Mt. Ephriam, railroad clean-
ups, the Mansion Ave. school map playground project, and Masons Wheel 
chair Push in Burlington. On behalf of town of Audubon, and the First 
District of New Jersey, I want to express my sincere appreciation and 
pride to have such a great organization operating in my district.
