Madame Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, it is an honor for me to rise today to recognize the 80th Anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 10.
In 1927, Boy Scout Troop 10 was founded and chartered to First Baptist Church Pensacola in Pensacola, Florida. Today, eighty years later, it is recognized as the oldest active Boy Scout troop in the Boy Scout Gulf Coast Council, which serves the Florida panhandle and lower Alabama.
Over the course of its history, thousands of young men have made the trek with Troop 10 under the leadership of twenty-nine Scoutmasters, and eighty-six have achieved the Eagle Scout rank, The Boy Scouts of America’s highest honor.
As trustworthy, loyal, courteous, brave, and reverent young men, Troop 10 exemplifies everything which scouts stand for, and the very ideals that all Americans should strive to attain as our duty to God and this great Nation. From the beginning, Troop 10 has won the hearts and high respect of the communities of Northwest Florida and their presence will continue to do so.
Madame Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to recognize the 80th Anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 10 and its service to God and Country.
