                        CONGRATULATING NED GOLD

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TIM RYAN

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 19, 2020

  Mr. RYAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ned Gold, of 
Warren, Ohio, who earlier this year was awarded the Boy Scouts of 
America's highest honor, the Silver Buffalo Award.
  Mr. Gold, who has been in Scouting for more than 70 years, was one of 
14 to be honored nationally this year. The Silver Buffalo Award is the 
distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. It is awarded 
for extraordinary service to youth on a national level.
  Ned has spent countless hours contributing to the work of Scouting, 
including helping to found the Philmont Staff Association, which 
supports the Philmont Scout Ranch, the largest youth camp in the world, 
located in Cimarron, New Mexico.
  Additionally, Ned is credited with bringing a 450-piece fine art 
collection, which includes 65 scouting-themed paintings by Norman 
Rockwell, out of storage and on exhibit at the Medici Museum of Art in 
my Congressional District.
  Outside of Scouting, Mr. Gold has greatly contributed to the Mahoning 
Valley community. I am unaware of any other lawyer who devotes as much 
pro-bono time in our community as Ned. Through his dedicated work with 
Trumbull 100, our primary civic organization, Mr. Gold has made 
significant contributions to the economic development within our 
community. Ned has also led organized movements in our community to 
honor our veterans

and shelter animals through the Animal Welfare League.
  In short, Ned cares for his community and uses his devotion to 
Scouting's principles for the betterment of our community. I am very 
proud to have known Ned for many years through my brother Alan, who 
served as an attorney in Ned's former law firm, and through Ned's son 
Greg, who was my high school classmate.
  I ask that you all join me in congratulating Ned for receiving this 
distinguished award and thanking him for his service to the communities 
I represent.
