    HONORING THE GRAND COLUMBIA COUNCIL OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the Grand Columbia 
Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This organization has enriched 
the communities of central Washington through its efforts to promote 
conservation, outdoor recreation, and youth development.
  Since its founding 95 years ago, volunteers for the Grand Columbia 
Council have sought to teach the values of the Scout oath and Scout law 
to over 1,000 boys and girls every year, making an investment in our 
youth by supporting leadership, character, career development, and 
healthy habits.
  Every year these volunteers host the River Run Regatta, a month of 
scouting activities that culminates in Scout Me In Day, an event that 
encourages the expansion of the Scouts and seeks to foster the 
relationships between our lakes, forests, mountains, and the future 
generations who will harbor them.
  Madam Speaker, I join my colleagues in supporting the Grand Columbia 
Council and the efforts of the Boy Scouts of America throughout the 
Nation.
