                 TRIBUTE TO EAGLE SCOUT LUCAS COLOSIMO

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 6, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Lucas Colosimo for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
  The Eagle Scout rank is the highest advancement rank in scouting. 
Only about five percent of Boy Scouts earn the Eagle Scout Award. The 
award is a performance-based achievement with high standards that have 
been well-maintained for more than a century.
  To earn the Eagle Scout rank, a Boy Scout is obligated to pass 
specific tests that are organized by requirements and merit badges, as 
well as complete an Eagle Project to benefit the community. For his 
Eagle Scout Service Project, Lucas made and installed an outdoor 
meditative pathway, which included the Stations of the Cross at St. 
Thomas More Center in Panora, Iowa.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by this young man demonstrates the 
rewards of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I am honored to 
represent Lucas and his supportive family in the United States 
Congress. I know that all of my colleagues in the United States House 
of Representatives will join me in congratulating him on reaching the 
rank of Eagle Scout, and I wish him continued success in his future 
education and career.
