COUPE AND THOMAS A. GUILBAULT ______ HON. JACK REED of rhode island in the house of representatives Friday, October 7, 1994 Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute two distinguished young men from Rhode Island who have attained the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. They are Gregory F. Coupe and Thomas A. Guilbault of Troop 44 in Glocester, Rhode Island and they are honored this week for their noteworthy achievement. Not every young American who joins the Boy Scouts earns the prestigious Eagle Scout Award. In fact, only 2.5 percent of all Boy Scouts do. To earn the award, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. He must earn 21 Merit Badges, eleven of which are required from areas such as Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Safety, Environmental Science, and First Aid. As he progresses through the Boy Scout ranks, a Scout must demonstrate participation in increasingly more responsible service projects. He must also demonstrate leadership skills by holding one or more specific youth leadership positions in his patrol and/or troop. These young men have distinguished themselves in accordance with these criteria. For their Eagle Scout project, Gregory made and cleared a trail through the Sprague Farm Land Trust and Thomas marked the new trail with appropriate signs. Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in saluting Eagle Scouts Gregory F. Coupe and Thomas A. Guilbault. In turn, we must duly recognize the Boy Scouts of America for establishing the Eagle Scout Award and the strenuous criteria its aspirants must meet. This program has through its 84 years honed and enhanced the leadership skills and commitment to public service of many outstanding Americans, two dozen of whom now serve in the House. It is may sincere belief that Gregory F. Coupe and Thomas A. Guilbault will continue their public service and in so doing will further distinguish themselves and consequently better their community. I join friends, colleagues, and family who this week salute them. ____________________ |
