  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Steven

[[Page E1105]]

Hornberg of Council Bluffs, Iowa for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. 
Steven is a member of Boy Scout Troop No. 3 in Council Bluffs.
  The Eagle Scout designation is the highest advancement rank in 
scouting. Approximately 5 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 Project to benefit the community. Steven's 
Eagle Scout Project consisted of refinishing several old doors at an 
inner city school. The work ethic Steven has shown in his Eagle Project 
and every other project leading to his Eagle Scout rank speaks volumes 
of 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 demonstrates the rewards of hard work, dedication, and 
perseverance. I am honored to represent Steven and his family in the 
United States Congress. I know that all of my colleagues in the House 
of Representatives join me in congratulating him on obtaining the Eagle 
Scout ranking, and I wish him continued success in his future education 
and career.
