                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. NICHOLAS A. LANGWORTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 23, 2024

  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate Boy Scouts 
of America Troop 513 upon their Centennial Celebration. One hundred 
years ago, First Presbyterian Church in East Aurora offered to sponsor 
the new troop, known then as Troop 13. Generations of young men from 
East Aurora and the surrounding area have been well served by the 
lifelong skills learned during their time with Troop 513. Notably, this 
troop has produced over one hundred and seventy Eagle Scouts during 
their long history. I am incredibly proud of this culture of service 
that has been longstanding in our community.
  On Saturday, May 25, 2024, Troop 513 will be hosting a celebration of 
this historic anniversary at American Legion Post 362 in East Aurora, 
where they will recall one-hundred years of scouting within the Town of 
Aurora and Western New York.
  On behalf of the United States Congress and the constituents of New 
York's 23rd Congressional District, I congratulate the current and 
former members of Troop 513, both present at this celebration and 
leading their communities throughout the country.
