  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, last month, it was an honor to 
celebrate Miguel Santos' achievement of his Eagle Scout ceremony. 
Miguel joined the Scouts as a Tiger Scout and, along with his brothers, 
has completed the journey to Eagel Scout. This journey was a 
transformative one for Miguel, teaching him lessons like the importance 
of leadership, the significance of comradery, and the value of service. 
For his Eagle Scout Project, he rehabilitated a structure at Saint 
Joesph's Cemetery in Woolwich in South Jersey and made it into a 
meditative prayer space for those to enjoy and find solitude. Along 
with his project, he dedicated a lot of his time to the Church, 
resulting in him completing all four Pillars of Faith and earning the 
four Catholic Scouting Awards. Miguel plans to take the lessons that he 
has learned with the Scouts and apply them to his future studies of 
filmmaking and design at Rutgers University in Camden. I am incredibly 
proud of Miguel for all his achievements in the Scouts and I know he 
has a bright future ahead of him. God Bless Miguel Santos and God Bless 
the United States of America.
