                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Eagle Scout Chandler 
Prymowicz of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania who earned every possible merit 
badge recognized by the Boy Scouts of America.
  At age 10, Chandler joined Boy Scout Troop 418 in Nanticoke. From his 
first day as a member of this organization, he was determined to earn 
every merit badge possible. To accomplish his goal, Chandler attended 
out of state merit badge colleges, volunteered as a camp counselor at 
Camp Minsi, and attended Jamboree in 2010. Even after reaching the rank 
of Eagle Scout at the age of 14, he continued to pursue this 
aspiration. On October 28th, 2013, Chandler completed the 
Sustainability merit badge, earning him a total of 137 merit badges and 
12 palms. Only one out of every 225,000 Boy Scouts is able to achieve 
this feat. Although he will age out of the Boy Scouts this month, 
Chandler will stay involved in Scouting by becoming an assistant leader 
of Troop 418.
  Mr. Speaker, for his determination and dedication to earn every 
available scouting badge, I commend Eagle Scout Chandler Prymowicz and 
wish him the best in his future endeavors.
