  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Levi John 
Chettle, 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 370, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Levi has been very active with his troop, participating in such Scout 
activities as Camp Bartle and the Sea Base High Adventure. Over the 5 
years he has been involved in Scouting, he has earned 58 merit badges. 
Additionally, Levi has held numerous leadership positions, serving as 
patrol leader, troop quartermaster, den chief, historian and assistant 
senior patrol leader. Levi also has been honored for his numerous 
Scouting achievements with such awards as the World Conservation Award, 
the Heritage Trail Award, the 50-Miler Afloat Award, the National 
Camping Award, the 12-Month Camping Award 4 years in a row, Warrior 
Little Silent Stalking White Bear in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, and the 
Brotherhood in the Order of the Arrow.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Levi mulched a playground, painted 
benches and trash receptacles, and planted 11 flower beds at Riverside 
Park. Additionally, he applied painted stencils to over 100 drainage 
manhole covers in the City of Riverside.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Levi John
