“I wish to mark and celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 11, located in Roseville, California. Troop 11 was first chartered in 1924 by American Legion Post 169, and it is the oldest continuing Boy Scout troop in Roseville. It is a scout-run, leader-mentored, and parent-supported troop that focuses on personal growth, leadership development, and community outreach. One core tenet of Troop 11 is the ``good turn'' concept, which helps Scouts grow as they participate in community service projects and provide acts of good and kindness toward others. Troop 11 is involved in a variety of local projects, including giving aid during times of emergency, hosting community events such as pancake breakfasts and the crab and spaghetti feeds, as well as retiring worn U.S. flags to name a few. Groups like Boy Scout Troop 11 play an integral role in developing self-reliance and community building, preparing the youth who participate to become the leaders of tomorrow. Their commitment to excellence of character and tenacity to build a better world is inspiring to all those around them. Therefore, on behalf of the United States House of Representatives, I am honored to recognize Roseville Boy Scout Troop 11 for reaching this significant milestone, their centennial celebration.
