  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 90th anniversary 
of Boy Scout Troop 401 of Auburn, Washington on August 10, 2013. Troop 
401 is one of the longest running Boy Scout Troops in its council and 
in the state. Beginning as Troop 1, under Scoutmaster Harlan R. Stone 
90 years ago, they remain a strong and visible presence in the Auburn 
community.
  On this momentous occasion, I'd like to personally thank Boy Scout 
Troop 401 for its outreach to the community and its service to the 
Auburn area. Each time I return to my District, Mr. Speaker, I am 
reminded of the incredible work of the Boy Scout Troops in our 
communities. For almost a century, Troop 401 has helped make future 
leaders of this country by combining educational activities with 
lifelong values of service and ensuring they have fun in the process. 
Investing in our youth is the key to building a more conscientious, 
responsible, and productive society.
  Mr. Speaker, Boy Scout Troop 401 is a unique and dedicated group of 
young men. Their true impact is immeasurable and their outreach and 
accomplishments are legendary. Here's to the next 90 years, Mr.
