                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 7, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Bryce Norman Berthusen of Waukee, Iowa for achieving the 
rank of Eagle Scout. Bryce is a member of Boy Scout Troop 178. The 
Eagle Scout designation is the highest advancement rank in scouting. 
Approximately two percent of Boy Scouts earn the Eagle Scout Award. The 
award is a performance-based achievement with high standards that have 
been well maintained over the past 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 completing an Eagle Scout Project to benefit the community. For 
Bryce's project, he designed and constructed outdoor fitness stations 
at the local Waukee Y.M.C.A. Bryce is a freshman at Waukee High School 
with a great interest in science, engineering and music. He is also on 
the Waukee High School baseball team and spends time with his church's 
youth group.
  The work ethic Bryce has shown in his Eagle Scout Project and every 
other project leading up to his Eagle Scout rank, speaks volumes about 
his commitment to serving a cause greater than himself and assisting 
his community.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by this young man and his supportive 
family and community demonstrates the rewards of hard work, dedication, 
and perseverance. I am honored to represent Bryce Norman Berthusen and 
his family in the United States Congress. I know that all of my 
colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives will join me in 
congratulating him on obtaining the Eagle Scout ranking, and I wish him 
continued success in his future education and career.
