                 GARRETT HALL EARNS RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 30, 2018

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Garrett Hall 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. 
This honor requires years of effort to develop the necessary 
leadership, service and outdoor skills. To earn it, Garrett developed 
and provided leadership to others in a service project. For his 
project, Garrett redesigned and built a 2.5 mile competition-level 
orienteering course at Brazos Bend State Park in Needville, TX, which 
suffered damage from Hurricane Harvey. This included remapping the 
course with new instructions, and creating and installing 15 posts that 
could withstand future storms. His 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 Garrett for becoming an Eagle Scout. We are 
proud of his continued success and thank him for his dedication to 
making our community a better place.
