                         RECOGNIZING BEN DAVIS

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, the Boy Scout motto is ``Be Prepared.'' All 
Scouts say it, but very few live it. A young Scout from Sugar Land, 
Texas, lived it. His name is Ben Davis.
  On July 2, 2018, Ben hears faint cries. He is horrified when he finds 
the source: an 87-year-old neighbor lying in her yard. She had fallen 
doing yard work. She had been lying in the hot Texas July sun for 
hours. She was dying.
  Being a prepared Boy Scout, Ben knew exactly what to do: go into the 
woman's house, call 911. And that is exactly what Ben did. Ben stayed 
with his neighbor until help arrived.
  Ben Davis is the best in Sugar Land, in Fort Bend County, in Texas, 
and in America. He is a prepared Boy Scout hero.
