  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize three Boy 
Scouts from Troop 28 of Southampton, Bucks County. Harrison Kampf, 
Dylan McKernan, Ron Brown and one of their Scoutmasters Tom McCullough 
were on a white water rafting trip last October when another rafter 
became trapped underwater due to the strong river current and pinned up 
against a rock formation. Realizing the situation at hand, the Scouts 
acted quickly and decisively to stabilize their own raft and pull the 
man out of the water--saving his life. For their courageous and life-
saving action, the Boy Scouts of America recognized these young men 
with the Honor Medal, which has only been awarded to 2,354 scouts since 
its inception in 1923. I am honored to recognize these individuals and 
proud to say that the values and skills taught by the Boy Scouts of 
America are alive and well in Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional 
District.
