“Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing young man and Scout in my community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Alex Goglia. After completing his Arrow of Light Award in Pack 1 of the Scouts, Alex crossed over into Scouts BSA Troop 1 in Sellersville. Since then, Alex has moved up through the ranks of Scouting and recently became a Life Scout. As a member of Troop 1, Alex has held several leadership positions, including assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, and now senior patrol leader. His leadership through the ranks sets an excellent example for the younger Scouts to follow. Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize Alex Goglia before this Congress as an individual who lives the words of the Scout Oath and Law in his everyday life and is steadfast in his commitment to better our community back home in Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, recently, in the midst of an emergency medical situation, Alex used his lifesaving skills he learned in Scouting to save the life of a young child who was choking on a piece of food in a restaurant where Alex was employed. Alex's calm, quick, and heroic response was recognized by the National Boy Scouts of America, which awarded him the BSA Medal of Merit, a rare award offered by the Scouts. We are incredibly grateful for Alex Goglia's meritorious acts and for the positive impact that he has had within Scout Troop 1 and our entire community.…”
