 CONGRATULATING LOGAN MARTIN SWEARENGIN ON RECEIVING THE BOY SCOUTS OF 
                       AMERICA'S EAGLE SCOUT RANK

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 27, 2016

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Logan Martin 
Swearengin, of Springfield, Missouri, on his recent achievement of the 
Boy Scouts of America's (BSA) top rank of Eagle Scout.
  The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy 
Scouts of America. It is the culmination of many years of hard work and 
dedication, requiring countless hours of

service, training and learning. An extremely exclusive honor, less than 
two percent of the 112 million scouts since the BSA's founding in 1910 
have achieved the Eagle Scout distinction.
  Logan's promotion to Eagle Scout is even more significant given that 
his brothers, Ethan and Austin, also achieved the Eagle Scout rank. To 
have one Eagle Scout in a family is remarkable, but to have three is 
beyond exemplary. Logan and his brothers' achievements are a testament 
to their family's reverence for focus and commitment.
  Mr. Speaker, by attaining the rank of Eagle Scout, Logan has set 
himself on the path to achieve future success, and I'm proud to count 
him among my constituents. His dedication in completing the required 
benchmarks and community service requirements to reach the Eagle Scout 
rank is indicative of his ability to accomplish whatever goals he sets 
his mind to. I wish Logan luck with all his future endeavors, and urge 
my colleagues to join me in congratulating him on this momentous 
achievement.
