  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jonathan H. 
Weaver, 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 99, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Jonathan has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the 2 years he has been involved in Scouting, he 
has earned 30 merit badges. Additionally, Jonathan has held numerous 
leadership positions in his troop, serving as troop guide and junior 
assistant scout master. Jonathan also has been honored for his numerous 
Scouting achievements with such awards as the Silent Canoe and the Tom-

  For his Eagle Scout project, Jonathan repaired and refurbished the 
deck and porch of the local women's and children's shelter.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jonathan H. 
Weaver for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle
