                   HONORING SCOUTMASTER CHIP ANDERSON

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, Chip Anderson has been an integral part of 
Kenilworth Scouting--more specifically, Troop 13--for the last 8 years. 
He has provided outstanding leadership and support to the young men of 
Kenilworth, Illinois, as first the troop quartermaster, and then as the 
troop Scoutmaster. He is moving to Atlanta with his family for career 
reasons and resigning his active leadership position with Troop 13, but 
will always remain a vital part of Troop 13 and its legacy.
  During his tenure, the troop has been very active with weekly 
meetings, community service projects, and monthly camping and overnight 
trips, including the annual Boundary Waters High Adventure for the 
rising seventh-grade boys.
  Advancement is one, but not the only, measure of success, and during 
his tenure Troop 13 has had 45 young men attain the rank of Eagle, 
Scouting's highest rank. Chip has directly supported each of these 
young men, as well as all the young men in the troop. Most have called 
him a mentor and friend in the notes they have written to express their 
thanks.
  We are thankful for his outstanding contribution, and as a community 
we feel very fortunate to have had his leadership and dedication to the 
Scouting program and to the development of young men in the village.
  It is an honor to recognize Chip today. It is an honor to call him my 
friend.
