Five Eagle Scouts from Scout BSA Troop 19, St. Rose of Lima Church, Short Hills NJ will be honored by Congressman Tom Malinowski tonight, as he will be making remarks on the floor of the House of Representatives to honor and congratulate their achievement as members of the Inaugural Class of Female Eagle Scouts.

He will make brief remarks around 5:30pm-6:00pm. It could be earlier or later, but this is an estimated time frame.

This is an unbelievable honor for our Troop and another milestone in the broader acceptance of females in the Scouts BSA program. Furthermore, the names of these trailblazing women will be entered into the Congressional record.
