“Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the Juniata Valley Council American Heritage Camporee, which I had the privilege of attending this weekend. This year's Camporee, hosted by the Howard Pack and Troop 353, welcomed more than 400 Scouts to my hometown of Howard, Pennsylvania to enjoy a weekend of camping, and learning about the core scout values. This year's Camporee brought Scouts together to participate in interactive sessions at the Eagle Iron Works and Curtin Village--one of the longest-running ironworks in Pennsylvania. Scouts spent the weekend learning the histoy of ironworking, and what life would have looked like here more than 100 years ago. I spent Saturday instructing participants on the American Heritage Merit Badge. As an Eagle Scout and a former Scoutmaster of Troop 353, it is always an honor to meet Scouts and learn more about the way they are positively impacting our communities. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Juniata Valley Council, which was established more than 100 years ago, for planning the annual Camporee. Special thanks to Tom and Patti Long for leading the planning of this event. ____________________”

“Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the Genesee Township Volunteer Fire Department and the numerous officials who have served for many years. [[Page E389]] The Fire Department serves the Genesee township and the surrounding areas of Potter County, providing critical assistance to thousands of Pennsylvanians. As a former volunteer firefighter with more than three decades of service, I know the dedication and commitment volunteers make to serve their respective fire departments and the surrounding areas. They truly are the backbone of many small rural communities. Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to recognize the following individuals: Bill Baker for his half-centuryof service; Patty Ransom and Susie Calcote for each serving 30 years; and Monica Porcuri, for her five years of service in the department. Our communities are safer because of these brave men and women. Mr. Speaker, I thank them for their service and selflessness. ____________________”
