                       Friday, September 28, 2018

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Scoutmaster Mitch 
Gorsen and all the leaders and young people of Eagle Scout Troop 121 on 
its 50th anniversary. It has been 50 years of amazing success, 
culminating in the 300th young man from the troop being recently 
awarded an Eagle. Troop 121 is known for its adventurous spirit, 
sending Scouts to New Mexico, to the wilds of northern Minnesota and to 
Sea Base in Florida to experience a range of physical and mental 
challenges that mold Eagles.
   A major force in the success of Troop 121 was the presence of John 
Hooten who passed away in March. John served as Scoutmaster for more 
than 20 years, motivating many to attain the highest rank of Eagle 
Scout. His contributions will never be forgotten.
   Troop 121 is well positioned to continue its mission of providing a 
quality Scouting program for the young men and women in the Granite 
Bay/South Placer area. I wish them continued success in helping create 
America's future leaders.
