               RECOGNIZING 100TH EAGLE SCOUT OF TROOP 67

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. REID J. RIBBLE

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 17, 2015

  Mr. RIBBLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the efforts of 
Patrick McCormick. Mr. McCormick has selflessly dedicated much of his 
life to Boy Scout Troop 67. Since founding the Troop in 1966, Mr. 
McCormick has mentored 100 Eagle Scouts. An Eagle Scout himself, Mr. 
McCormick is a role model for each and every member of Boy Scout Troop 
67.
   I need not go into detail of the importance Eagle Scouts have played 
in our country's history with men such as Neil Armstrong and President 
Gerald Ford. Under the leadership of Patrick McCormick, Troop 67 has 
ten Eagle Scouts whom are veterans of the United States of America's 
Armed Forces. One is a Boy Scouts of America District Scout Executive, 
one is a minister, thirty-two Scouts that have earned their Eagle Scout 
Award are now registered as Assistant Scoutmasters and twenty-five have 
earned their Eagle Scout Palms. The Eagle Scouts, throughout their 
community service, have identified projects and built the necessary 
relationships to move those projects forward. These Eagle projects 
enhance the communities in which they are performed, and provide a road 
map of encouragement to the scouts that follow in their footsteps.
   I commend Mr. McCormick for his many years of service, dedication 
and mentorship to the young men of this nation. It is men like Mr. 
McCormick that inspire and engage the youth of our country to grow and 
do great things.
