                     CONGRATULATING BRUCE McMILLAN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the career of an Eagle Scout who is planning for retirement after 37 
years of distinguished professional service to the Boy Scouts of 
America. Bruce ``Trip'' McMillan will retire as the Area 4 director for 
the Northeast Region of the Boy Scouts of America.
  Bruce McMillan received his bachelor's degree from Montclair State 
University. He is a Vigil Honor member of the Order of the Arrow and a 
Wood Badge recipient. He has staffed jamborees, camp schools, and 
countless training events.
  His career serving America's youth began in 1975 as a district 
executive in Wayne, New Jersey. Since then, he went on to serve as a 
Scout executive in Maryland, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. 
Trip was then promoted to the Northeast Region Area 4 staff in 2001 and 
Area 4 director in 2008.
  In all capacities, Trip has served with great distinction, earning 
the respect and admiration of all he has served over a remarkable 
career. Congratulations to Trip and his devoted wife, Diane.
  Madam Speaker, I am honored to recognize a friend and scouting 
professional who has touched the lives of so many youth in his service 
to scouting. Well done, Scouter.
