                                 ______
                                 

 RECOGNIZING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF BOY SCOUT TROOP 6 OF BARRINGTON, 
                              RHODE ISLAND

 Mr. WHITEHOUSE. Mr. President, as the Boy Scout Law tells us, 
``A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, 
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.'' These values 
are always worth remembering. Even 8 out of 12 is an achievement. We 
all know people who don't get to six on their best day.
  For 50 years, boys and young men have built these important traits 
under the direction of Boy Scout Troop 6 from Barrington, RI, part of 
the Narragansett Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The programs and 
traditions of Troop 6 help Scouts build moral fiber, engender 
responsible citizenship, and develop maturity and physical fitness.
  Over the years, the troop has organized or participated in countless 
activities that have helped the community at large. Scouts from Troop 6 
Barrington carry out a community service project every month, including 
working with the Barrington Land Conservation Trust to clear hiking 
trails, contributing food and labor to food drives across New England, 
and assisting numerous nonprofit organizations throughout Rhode Island.
  More than 100 Scouts from Troop 6 have earned the rank of Eagle 
Scout, the highest achievement in Scouting. They have distinguished 
themselves as community leaders, service volunteers, and mentors for 
their peers.
  As Boy Scouts of America president Dr. Robert M. Gates put it last 
month in his address to the Boys Scouts National Annual Business 
Meeting, ``Every day, in every community in America, scouting is 
changing the lives of boys and young men teaching them skills and 
leadership, helping them build character and integrity.'' Thanks to its 
many dedicated leaders, parents, and volunteers, Troop 6 has provided 
boys in Barrington with valuable tools and lifelong leadership skills 
for a half century.
  I congratulate all the Scouts of Boy Scout Troop 6 and their families 
on this special anniversary, and I am grateful for their outstanding 
commitment to their community, to the State of Rhode Island, and to our 
country.
  Mr. President, I ask that a list of Eagle Scouts, Scoutmasters, and 
committee chairmen of Troop 6 be printed in the Record.
