  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, this past December, I had the honor of 
celebrating a remarkable young man, Benjamin Fairfield, who has 
achieved the prestigious Rank of Eagle Scout. His journey is a true 
testament to his dedication, leadership, and community service. 
Throughout his scouting journey, Benjamin has learned the importance of 
being prepared for anything and has made lifelong friends along the 
way. Benjamin's Eagle Project involved upgrading the Climbing Area at 
Camp Edge in Ranch Hope, South Jersey. He built a double-sided climbing 
wall, landscaped the area, and even pressure washed and painted 
benches, making it a safer and more enjoyable space for all. Benjamin 
is not only dedicated to scouting but also passionate about hunting and 
fishing, reflecting his love for the outdoors and adventure. Beyond 
scouting, Benjamin plans to continue working at Hidden Creek Farm and 
eventually open up his own farm. I am proud of this young man, and I 
wish him the best. God Bless Benjamin and God Bless the United States 
of America.
