  Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, this year marks the centennial of the Boy 
Scouts of America. Like most Americans, I am a long-time admirer of the 
Boy Scouts of America organization. The Boy Scouts have taught 
generations of young men the values of teamwork and the importance of 
continuingly striving for excellence, as well as providing its members 
the opportunity to develop leadership skills at a young age.
  It is therefore my pleasure to congratulate the Boy Scouts of America 
on the occasion of their one-hundredth anniversary. I would also like 
to extend a special thanks to all those who have made the great work of 
the Boy Scouts possible by volunteering to serve as Troop Leaders, Den 
Mothers, and in other positions with their local Boy Scouts Troops.
  Finally, Madam Speaker, I would like to extend special 
congratulations to the following Boy Scout Troops in my district who 
will be honored at the City of Fulsher's annual Fulsher Friday Night on 
July 2: Boy Scouts of America Troop 941; Boy Scouts of America, Cub 
Scout Pack 941; Boy Scouts of America Troop 1103; Boy Scouts of America 
Troop 1103, Cub Scout Pack 1103; Boy Scouts of America Troop 941, and 
Cub Scout Pack 941.
