  • An Eagle Scout himself, Congressman Smith explains the importance of public service.

  • Congressman Smith tells the scouts about the recent victory in bringing new KC-46 planes to Joint Base McGuire-Dix Lakehurst. The majority of the 65-square-mile base is in the Fourth Congressional District he represents. The new planes are slated to be built and delivered by 2021.

  • Congressman Smith explains how he became a Member of the United States Congress, as one youth looks over a newsletter he handed out.

  • Cub Scout Pack 992 outside of Rep. Smith's Mercer County office.

   Cub Scout Pack 992 visited Congressman Chris Smith (NJ-04) today at the congressman's Hamilton Constituent Service Center in Mercer County, NJ.

   Pack members and parents discussed numerous topics, including an array of human rights issues, politics in Washington, how federal legislation is created and turned into law, the missions at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and many other areas of discussion. As an Eagle Scout himself, Smith explained his views on public service. The pack members asked great questions and were extraordinarily well-informed.

   Pack 992 is headquartered in Hamilton Square, NJ, and is led by Den Leader Tracy Kociolek.

   Pictured below from the left are: Rep. Smith; Dr. Jason Briggs, Principal at St. Gregory the Great Academy; Den Leader Tracy Kociolek; Seamus Finnegan, Robbie Laverty, Arist Kociolek, Justin Pena, Heather Pena, A.J.

As the meeting transpired on March 17, 2018, St. Patrick's Day, many of the scouts wore green.
