           A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO THE PIONEER SCOUT RESERVATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 17, 2009

  Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, it is with a great deal of pride that I 
rise to pay a very special tribute to a facility in the Fifth 
Congressional District of Ohio. This year marks the 40th anniversary of 
the Pioneer Scout Reservation in Pioneer, Ohio.
  The Pioneer Scout Reservation serves as a year-round camping site for 
the Boy Scouts of America. From the time I spent at the Pioneer Scout 
Reservation as a boy, I can tell you that this camp is a very special 
place. Within the boundaries of the camp, scouts learn the basics of 
nature and gain a respect for, and appreciation of, the outdoors.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying special 
tribute to the Pioneer Scout Reservation. The staff, who allow this 
camp to be such fertile ground where Boy Scouts can grow into young 
men, provide our communities in Northwest Ohio with an invaluable 
service. On behalf of the people of the Fifth District of Ohio, I am 
proud to honor this establishment.
