                       Monday, February 26, 2018

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
and congratulate Thomas Howard for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
  The son of Bob and Susan, Thomas is a sophomore at Bishop O'Connell 
High School in Arlington, VA. Thomas has been an active member of Cub 
Scout Pack 194 and Boy Scout Troop 648. He is an active leader on the 
local and national level, most notably serving as Patrol Leader at the 
National Jamboree. He currently serves as Junior Assistant Scout Master 
for his Troop.
  For Thomas' Eagle Service Project, he led a team of scouts, friends, 
and adults to create thirty-seven, 2x3' environmental awareness poster 
puzzles for the Fairfax County Park Authority and invested over two-
hundred and thirty-four service hours. With his dedication and 
leadership, every Park Authority building in the county now has access 
to these learning tools.
  In addition to scouting, Thomas is an altar server at St. Thomas More 
Cathedral, a National SeaPerch competitor, and Mission Manager for 
Bishop O'Connell's ThinSat satellite program.
  I am honored to recognize Thomas for his achievement and wish him all 
the best in his continuing education.
