       CELEBRATING 110TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, this past Saturday, the Boy 
Scouts of America celebrated its 110th anniversary. With over 2 million 
active participants, it is one of the largest youth organizations in 
the country.
  Since its founding in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has shaped the 
lives of young men by teaching them character development, self-
reliance, and principles of responsible citizenship.
  In my district, the Old Hickory Council of the Boy Scouts of America, 
originally a single troop organized in Winston-Salem, serves over eight 
counties and has almost 5,000 members. In 2018, they provided more than 
17,600 service hours at local charities and organizations.
  I congratulate the Boy Scouts of America on 110 years of service, and 
I am confident that they will continue to positively impact communities 
across our country for many years to come.
