RECOGNIZING CARTER BISIG
(Mr. TAYLOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TAYLOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Carter Bisig.
Carter is a junior at Wilmington High School in Wilmington, Ohio, and
has earned the Eagle Scout Award, the highest possible achievement in
the Boy Scout community.
To earn an Eagle Scout Award, Carter had to obtain 21 merit badges
showcasing the skills he learned as a Scout and his commitment to the
community. Thanks to the invaluable lessons taught to Scouts, Carter
has become an expert in first aid, camping, fitness, communication, and
citizenship.
Throughout our Nation's history, the Boy Scouts have played an
invaluable role in teaching young people hands-on skills that make them
better citizens and stewards of their communities. America is blessed
to have an organization dedicated to helping our children become the
best versions of themselves.

Southern Ohio is so proud of Carter's accomplishment and happy to
call him one of our own. Since the Eagle Scout Award was first
introduced in 1912, only about 4 percent of Boy Scouts have earned the
award, making this achievement nothing short of extraordinary.
I look forward to seeing how Carter can continue to create positive
change in Ohio's Second Congressional District.
I would also like to recognize Carter's parents and Scout leaders for
their role in this process. Without them, this achievement would not
have been possible.
I congratulate Carter.
