                          HONORING LEE BEALUK

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. THOMAS MacARTHUR

                             of new Jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 26, 2017

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the leadership and 
contributions of Lee Bealuk, of the Third Congressional District of New 
Jersey, specifically all that he has done for the Township of Medford. 
Lee has served in a leadership capacity with Boy Scout Troop No. 20 of 
Medford for over 50 years, currently serving as Scoutmaster Emeritus 
and mentor to scouts who are working towards attaining the rank of 
Eagle Scout.
  Lee has mentored 84 young men from Troop No. 20 who have achieved 
this rank, the highest within the Boy Scouts of America organization. 
Lee's accomplishments with Troop No. 20's Eagle Scouts are astonishing 
given that less than 5 percent of youth who participate in Boy Scouts 
achieve this rank. As a component of the Eagle Scout process, the 
candidate must develop, coordinate, and implement a community service 
project and with 84 Scouts earning this rank, the Township of Medford 
as well as many other local facilities, have been the beneficiaries of 
the projects undertaken by the Eagle Scout candidates.
  Lee serves as the liaison between each Eagle Scout and the entities 
where the projects are conducted and his diligence in ensuring that all 
the logistics have been addressed is an excellent example to the Scout, 
while imparting other Boy Scout ideals including responsibility, 
community involvement, and civic duty. Lee's leadership skills and 
dedication are an asset to the Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 20, his 
community, his family, and his friends.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of New Jersey's Third Congressional District 
are tremendously honored to have Mr. Lee Bealuk as a selfless and 
devoted member of their community who has made a tremendous impact on 
our future generations of leaders. It is my honor to recognize his 
outstanding achievements and untiring dedication in mentoring the young 
men and fellow Scoutmasters who participate with Troop No. 20, 
especially those who commit to attaining the rank of Eagle Scout, and 
thank him for all that he has done, before the United State House of 
Representatives.
