                           HON. DAN BENISHEK

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 4, 2015

  Mr. BENISHEK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Marvin Gibson of 
Marquette, Michigan on the occasion of earning his Seventy Year Pin in 
service of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Gibson was awarded this honor 
at a ceremony in Northern Michigan on May 31, 2015.
   As Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 305 in Marquette, Mr. Gibson has 
shown his devotion to the scouting way of life. In his long career with 
the BSA, he has earned several other distinctions such as the rank of 
Eagle Scout, Vigil Honor in the Order of the Arrow, National Jamboree 
Leadership, and the Order of the Arrow National Conferences. Mr. Gibson 
is additionally the father of an Eagle Scout and a long time summer 
camp staffer at Camp Hiawatha.
   As a former Boy Scout myself, I have firsthand experience in the 
positive work that Scouting provides, especially in helping young men 
become self-reliant and learn important skills. On behalf of all 
residents of the First Congressional District, I wish to convey my 
congratulations to Mr. Gibson, his family, his fellow scouts, and the 
many that he has helped to positively influence in his seventy years in 
service of scouting.
