                       Friday, December 17, 2010

  Mr. PERRIELLO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Troop 184, 
Blue Ridge Council, of the Boy Scouts of America, on a momentous 
achievement. As of October, all five original members of Troop 184 have 
now attained the rank of Eagle Scout. As an Eagle Scout myself, I know 
the dedication, character, and commitment that each Scout has shown, 
and I am proud to recognize them for their hard work and their service 
to their community.
  I would also like to recognize the remarkable leadership of 
Scoutmasters Kevin Dawson and Eugene Moorefield III. Kevin Dawson has 
also received the award of Silver Beaver from the Blue Ridge Council 
for his dedication to the Boy Scouts. Mr. Dawson and Mr. Moorefield's 
truly exceptional leadership and dedication have helped to instill in 
these young men values that they will carry with them for the rest of 
their lives. I am honored to recognize their service and leadership.
  I ask you to join me in congratulating Gavin Dawson, James Moore, Lee 
Merryman, Hart Gillespie, and Martin Moorefield for their impressive 
achievements. These young men have shown the finest qualities of 
citizenship, leadership, and service, and I look forward to seeing them 
contribute to their communities for years to come.
