  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Carlin Owen 
Leslie, a very special young man who has exemplified the finest 
qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, Troop 314, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Carlin has been very active with his troop, participating in summer 
camp at H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation and earning the status of 
warrior in the tribe of Mic-O-Say. During the ten years he has been 
involved in scouting, he has earned 33 merit badges and is brotherhood 
member of the Order of the Arrow. Carlin also has been honored for his 
numerous scouting achievements, earning the rank of senior patrol 
leader. He was also the first scout from Troop 314 to become a runner 
in the Order of the Arrow, and now serves as the head of the Troop 314 
OA runners.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Carlin restored and repainted a train 
caboose at Fox Hill Elementary School which is used by the school and 
the Missouri Department of Conservation as an education lab.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Carlin Owen 
Leslie for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
