                  CADE DEROCHE EARNS EAGLE SCOUT RANK

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 5, 2018

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Cade Deroche of 
Sugar Land, TX for earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Eagle Scout is the 
highest honor a Boy Scout can earn.
  Only a small percentage of Boy Scouts reach the rank of Eagle Scout, 
which requires years of effort to develop the necessary leadership, 
service and outdoor skills. To earn this honor, Cade earned 21 merit 
badges, and developed and provided leadership to others in a service 
project. For his project, Cade repaired and completed a memorial garden 
at Fort Bend Family Promise an organization that supports families who 
have lost their homes and need emergency housing. Cade and his troop 
also completed over 500 hours of service following Hurricane Harvey. 
His hours of service were above and beyond what was required for 
scouting. He simply wanted to help his community. Cade also designed 
the patch earned by Scouts who participated in the relief efforts. 
Cade's dedication to our community has prepared him to be a leader in 
his future career. The leadership skills he has learned through Boy 
Scouts are already benefiting our community.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Cade for becoming an Eagle Scout. I am proud 
and confident of his continued success. I thank him for his dedication 
to making our community a better place.
