                        Thursday, June 24, 2021

  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, I am here today to recognize John Koza, 
a Mantua Township Eagle Scout who achieved Scouting's highest rank. 
John is a senior at Gloucester County institute of Technology and is 
enrolled in the Performing Arts Academy. He will be attending Rowan 
University in the fall, pursuing a dual degree in Business and 
Political Science. For his Eagle Scout Project, John oversaw the 
construction and staining of a bookcase, cabinet, and safety measures 
at Saint Margaret's Church of the Infant Jesus Parish in Woodbury 
Heights. With the help of scouts and adult volunteers, the project took 
153 hours to complete. John held positions as Assistant Patrol Leader, 
Patrol Leader, Bugler, and Den Chief throughout his time as a scout. 
John attended the National Jamboree in 2017 and remains one of his most 
memorable highlights of his scouting experience. John earned a total of 
28 merit badges and obtained his BSA Lifeguard Certification during his 
time as a Scout. John has done wonderful things for the South Jersey 
community over the years, and I know he will excel at Rowan University. 
God Bless John and God Bless America.
