                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 30, 2018

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Alex Galor 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, Alex developed and 
provided leadership to others in a service project. For his project, 
Alex worked with his synagogue to design, plan and build a genizah, 
which is a place to hold outdated and unused prayer books and other 
sacred texts. He also raised funds and organized volunteers to build 
the project and plant a garden surrounding it. 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 Alex 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.
