in the house of representatives
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to include in the Record the following proclamation recognizing the 75th Anniversary of Camp Lakota:
Whereas, Camp Lakota, a Scouting America camp operated by
the Black Swamp Area Council in Defiance County, Ohio, has
faithfully served the youth and families of Northwestern Ohio
since 1951; and
Whereas, for 75 years, Camp Lakota has provided a setting
where young people develop leadership skills, build strong
character, and form lifelong friendships through outdoor
adventure and shared experience; and
Whereas, Camp Lakota has played a vital role in shaping
generations of Scouts, instilling the values of service,
responsibility, and community engagement; and
Whereas, the camp is located near the historic site of Fort
Defiance, established by General Anthony Wayne prior to the
Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, connecting it to a vital
chapter in our nation's early history; and
Whereas, Camp Lakota shares a proud connection to Neil
Armstrong, an Eagle Scout who attended the camp and went on
to become the first person to walk on the Moon, inspiring
countless young people to pursue excellence and exploration;
and
Whereas, the continued success of Camp Lakota is made
possible by the dedication of its volunteers, leaders, and
staff, including the exceptional service of longtime Ranger
Patrick Bohn, whose more than 25 years of stewardship have
preserved and strengthened the camp's legacy; and
Whereas, the traditions, natural beauty, and enduring
spirit of Camp Lakota have created lasting memories and
meaningful experiences for all who have attended,
strengthening the fabric of communities throughout the
region; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that I, Marcy Kaptur,
Member of Congress representing Ohio's 9th Congressional
District, do hereby recognize and honor Camp Lakota on the
occasion of its 75th anniversary, and commend its enduring
contributions to the development of young leaders and the
betterment of our communities; and be it further resolved,
that I extend my sincere congratulations and best wishes for
continued success in the years ahead.
