                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 8, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kasey Hodge from 
Katy, Texas for earning the rank of Eagle Scout. The Eagle Scout Award 
is the highest honor in Boy Scouts.
  Only a small percentage of Boy Scouts reach the rank of Eagle Scout, 
which takes years of dedicated effort. Community service and 
leadership--the most important aspects of scouting--are values every 
Scout brings wherever life leads them. Kasey's project involved 
building a community bench in a local dog park. Kasey's dedication to 
our community has prepared him to be a leader in college and his future 
career. The leadership skills Kasey has learned through Boy Scouts are 
already benefiting our community.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again on becoming an Eagle Scout. I have no doubt Kasey 
has a bright future ahead.
