                            HON. PETE OLSON

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 25, 2017

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Spencer Reitz of 
Sugar Land, TX, for earning both his Boy Scout Eagle Rank Award and the 
Bronze Palm.
  Eagle Rank is one of the highest achievements a Boy Scout can earn, 
and a Bronze Palm goes one step beyond that. To earn Eagle Rank, 
Spencer had to earn 21 merit badges, and develop and provide leadership 
to others in a service project. He earned the Bronze Palm by remaining 
active in his troop for an additional three months and earning five 
additional merit badges. For his service project, Spencer enhanced an 
existing playground at the Children's Center for Autism at the Texana 
Center. He is a part of Troop 1631.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Spencer Reitz for earning his Boy Scout Eagle 
Rank Award and Bronze Palm. We are so proud and confident of his 
continued success in future endeavors.
