                     RECOGNIZING BOY SCOUT TROOP 6

                       Wednesday, April 22, 2015

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize Boy Scout Troop 
6 as they achieve the distinguished Centennial celebration in the 
storied history of scouting in America. Formed in 1915, Troop 6 is the 
oldest continuously operating scout troop in the Dan Beard Council, and 
now marks its 100th year.
  Over those 100 years, scouting values have played an important role 
in our nation's history, contributing to the character development of 
millions of youth.
  Leading boys from the first steps of Tenderfoot through the rank of 
Eagle Scout, through merit badges, summer camps, and service projects, 
Troop 6 has instilled character and moral compass in countless young 
men over its 100 years.
  America and Ohio benefit from skills and values that scouting 
instills in our young men including self-reliance, a duty to God and 
country, appreciation of the outdoors, and committed citizenship. Our 
nation could benefit from more people taking the Scout Law to heart.
  Troop 6 has shown a dedicated commitment to our community and nation, 
leading numerous service projects and supporting our military members.
  Southwest Ohio is privileged to have such a distinguished scout 
troop. I look forward to Troop 6's next 100 years as they continue 
their legacy of service.
