                       Thursday, November 2, 2023

  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, I want to commend Thomas Poulton for his 
achievement of the rank of Eagle Scout. Thomas is a senior at Kingsway 
Regional High School, and he has future plans to pursue a degree in 
business management. Thomas's academic journey has been marked by 
excellence, with a particular passion for history, earning college 
credits through AP History classes. Outside the classroom, Thomas has 
been an active participant in sports, contributing to his school's 
cross country, winter track, and tennis teams for three years. Thomas's 
impressive 12-year scouting journey culminated in achieving the rank of 
Eagle Scout. His scouting journey is marked with countless hours of 
community service, numerous leadership positions, and endless outdoor 
adventures. For his Eagle Scout Project, he built a gaga pit for a 
local park, a project which he planned and executed himself from 
beginning to end. His scouting experience has shaped him into a fine 
young man, emphasizing leadership, a strong moral compass, and a 
dedication to positive societal influence. Thomas's achievements are a 
source of pride for his family and his community, and I congratulate 
him on everything he has accomplished. God Bless Thomas and God Bless 
the United States of America.
