RECOGNIZING CARTER BISIG

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 71 (Tuesday, April 29, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 71 (Tuesday, April 29, 2025)] [House] [Pages H1712-H1713] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING CARTER BISIG (Mr. TAYLOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. TAYLOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Carter Bisig. Carter is a junior at Wilmington High School in Wilmington, Ohio, and has earned the Eagle Scout Award, the highest possible achievement in the Boy Scout community. To earn an Eagle Scout Award, Carter had to obtain 21 merit badges showcasing the skills he learned as a Scout and his commitment to the community. Thanks to the invaluable lessons taught to Scouts, Carter has become an expert in first aid, camping, fitness, communication, and citizenship. Throughout our Nation's history, the Boy Scouts have played an invaluable role in teaching young people hands-on skills that make them better citizens and stewards of their communities. America is blessed to have an organization dedicated to helping our children become the best versions of themselves. [[Page H1713]] Southern Ohio is so proud of Carter's accomplishment and happy to call him one of our own. Since the Eagle Scout Award was first introduced in 1912, only about 4 percent of Boy Scouts have earned the award, making this achievement nothing short of extraordinary. I look forward to seeing how Carter can continue to create positive change in Ohio's Second Congressional District. I would also like to recognize Carter's parents and Scout leaders for their role in this process. Without them, this achievement would not have been possible. I congratulate Carter. ____________________
