                 MADISON WASMER EARNS EAGLE SCOUT AWARD

  (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 to recognize Madison Wasmer.
  Madison is a junior at Jackson High School and has recently earned 
the Eagle Scout Award, becoming the first female in Jackson County to 
earn this distinction. To achieve this, Madison obtained 21 merit 
badges, showcasing fundamental skills she learned as a Scout and 
commitment to her community.
  Madison is a true leader who has served on her school's student 
council, engaged in local cleanup initiatives, and assisted special 
needs students.
  A member of Troop 7056, Madison embodied the spirit of the Scouts, 
which is to make ethical and moral choices that contribute to the well-
being of society, ultimately fostering civic engagement and love of 
community.
  Southern Ohio is proud of Madison's accomplishments, and we are happy 
to call her one of our own. I look forward to seeing how she continues 
to create positive change in Ohio's Second Congressional District.
  Mr. Speaker, I also recognize Madison's grandmother and her 
Scoutmaster, Ryan Pelliter, for their role in this process. Without 
them, this achievement would not have been possible. I congratulate 
Madison.
