Grateful to have met with Roger Krone, Chief Scout Executive; Kelson Dugdale, Eagle Scout; and others to hear an update on what Scouts accomplished in 2025. Scouting America aims to prepare young people for lives of impact and purpose through programs of character development and value-based leadership training. As a parent of four Eagle Scouts, I know the hard work and dedication that is required for this program.

Grateful that the House Armed Services Committee passed the FY27 NDAA, demonstrating our commitment of Peace Through Strength and supports funding for critical missions in the district I represent and around the Palmetto State. This bill secures vital missions at Savannah River Site, supports defense research in South Carolina, protects Eisenhower Army Medical Center, strengthens our defense industrial base, and gives our troops the pay and equipment they need to deter our adversaries. As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, I appreciate the leadership of Representatives Mike Rogers and Adam Smith.
