Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a man who has served the youth of America in the professional service of the Boy Scouts of America. Ronald Brown currently serves as the Area 6 Director of the Northeast Region Boy Scouts of America. Ron retires on April 1 after an astounding 48 years of service. Ron's BSA career started in 1963 as a District Executive in Birmingham, Alabama. He has served as a Field Director, Camping Director, Director of Support Services, Director of Field Services, Scout Executive, and Area Director. Ron's service has led him from Alabama to posts in Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and even Germany. Ron received his bachelor of arts degree in mathematics from Miles College in Birmingham, Alabama. He has been a frequent staff member or instructor at jamborees, camp schools and numerous other BSA training events. Ron Brown has served the youth of this Nation through the Boy Scouts of America with great distinction. I wish Ron and his wife Ann all the best in retirement. Well done, Scouter. ____________________
