                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 7, 2018

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Aditya Saharia 
of Sugar Land, TX for earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Eagle Scout is 
the highest honor a Boy Scout can earn.
  Only a small percentage of Boy Scouts reach the rank of Eagle Scout, 
which requires years of effort to develop the necessary leadership, 
service and outdoor skills. To earn this honor, Aditya earned 46 merit 
badges, and developed and provided leadership to others in a service 
project. For his project, Aditya worked with 12 other students to help 
construct trophy shelves for the Fort Settlement Middle School 
Orchestra, where he was previously a member. This project took over 83 
hours of Aditya's time and the shelves he helped build covered a span 
of 48 feet. Aditya and his troop also completed over 100 hours of 
service following Hurricane Harvey. Aditya also regularly volunteers 
with the Sai Center of Houston, helping make food for local shelters. 
Aditya's dedication to our community has prepared him to be a leader in 
his future career. The leadership skills he has learned through Boy 
Scouts are already benefiting our community.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again

to Aditya for becoming an Eagle Scout. I am proud and confident of his 
continued success. I thank him for his dedication to making our 
community a better place.
