                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 27, 2018

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate my 
constituent, Matthew Brittain, for his accomplishment in earning the 
rank of Eagle Scout.
  The Eagle Scout is the highest advancement rank in scouting; only a 
small number of Boy Scouts earn this auspicious title. The Eagle Scout 
is performance-based and has 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.

  Matthew has been recognized as a valuable member of Troop 15, and has 
served in various leadership positions like Troop Guide and Senior 
Patrol Leader. His Eagle Scout project was to clean, repair, and 
refurbish an outdoor band shell for the picnic grove of the Salem UCC 
Church in Dover, Pennsylvania.
  I have long appreciated the commitment of people who demonstrate hard 
work and selfless devotion to serving our communities and fellow 
citizens. On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, I 
recognize and congratulate Eagle Scout Matthew Brittain on his great 
accomplishment and community service. I wish Matthew continued success 
and Godspeed in his future adventures.
