                       Thursday, November 2, 2023

  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, last month, I had the honor of attending 
Trevor Waddington's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Trevor is a sophomore 
at Pennsville Memorial High School, who at the age of 15 has already 
made significant contributions to our South Jersey community. He is a 
dedicated member of Boy Scout Troop No. 7015, where he currently serves 
as the Senior Patrol Leader, showcasing his exemplary leadership 
abilities. He has earned an impressive 41 Merit Badges, which 
underscores his commitment to personal growth and skill development. 
For his Eagle Scout project, Trevor built a Gaga Ball Pit at Riverview 
Beach Park in Pennsville, South Jersey. This project encourages outdoor 
play and recreation for our local children. Trevor's dedication extends 
beyond scouting. He actively participates in community service, 
including organizing food collections for the Visiting Nurse 
Association and assisting with Toys for Tots during the holidays. 
Furthermore, Trevor excels in sports, playing football with both the 
Junior Varsity and Varsity Pennsville Eagles Football Team, 
participating in the Pennsville Varsity Wrestling Team, and 
representing the Pennsville Weightlifting Team as their spokesperson. 
Trevor's values, shaped by his experiences in Scouts and sports, make 
him a role model for his peers. I am so proud of his accomplishments, 
and I know he has a bright future ahead of him. God Bless Trevor and 
God Bless the United States of America.
