 RECOGNIZING THE 100TH EAGLE SCOUT OF TROOP 349 OF SMITHTOWN, NEW YORK

                                 ______

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 13, 2016

  Mr. ZELDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Boy Scouts of America 
Troop 349, which is based out of Smithtown, New York.
  It is said that only four percent of all young men involved in 
Scouting earn the rank of Eagle Scout, which is part of the reason the 
rank is so prestigious. Recently, Troop 349 recognized its 100th Eagle 
Scout award over its 45 year history. Thanks to the countless hours 
volunteered by adult leaders investing in our leaders of tomorrow, the 
future is looking brighter than ever.
  Again, I would like to congratulate the leaders of Troop 349, as well 
as the 100 young men who have earned the rank of Eagle Scout while in 
the troop, and thank them for their dedicated service to our community.
