                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate my 
constituent, Daniel Risser, for his accomplishment in earning the rank 
of Eagle Scout.
  The Eagle Scout designation is the highest advancement rank in 
scouting; only a small number of Boy Scouts are able to earn the rank 
of Eagle Scout. The award is a performance-based achievement with high 
standards that have been well-maintained over the past century. To earn 
the rank of Eagle Scout, a Boy Scout is obligated to pass specific 
tests that are organized by myriad requirements and merit badges, as 
well as completing an Eagle Scout project to benefit the community.

  Daniel has been a Scout for ten years, since he joined Troop 150 in 
the first grade. Since then he has been deeply involved in the 
organization, rising to become a brotherhood member of the Order of the 
Arrow. Daniel also performed a great deal of community services through 
his involvement in the National Youth Leadership Training Program.
  I've long appreciated the commitment of people who demonstrate hard 
work and selflessly devote themselves to serving our communities and 
fellow citizens. On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional 
District, I commend and congratulate Daniel Risser on his great 
accomplishment, and wish him Godspeed in his future adventures.
