                        Thursday, March 2, 2006

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure I recognize the 
young men from Cub Scout Pack 60 from Buffalo, New York as they 
celebrate the traditions and contributions of the Boy Scouts of America 
on this the 76th anniversary of Cub Scouting.
  Since 1910 Cub Scouts have embraced their motto ``Do Your Best'' and 
promoted the values of: citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, 
faith, health, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, 
resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility among its membership.
  Today we have more than 885,000 Cub Scouts across America, learning 
valuable life lessons through the scouting program, who will be the 
next generation of leaders.
  On Sunday, March 5, 2006 Pack 60 will celebrate the Anniversary of 
Scouting with a ``Blue & Gold'' dinner; blue representing truth, 
spirituality, steadfast loyalty and the sky above and gold which stands 
for warm sunlight, good cheer and happiness.
  Mr. Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to recognize Cub Scout 
Pack 60 whose members have learned at a very young age the importance 
of teamwork and giving back to one's community. We should be proud 
knowing they are this Nation's future.
