                       Monday, November 17, 2003

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Shaun Thomas 
Diamond, 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 374, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Shaun has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the 9 years Shaun has been involved with 
Scouting, he has held numerous leadership positions, serving as 
assistant senior patrol leader, assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, 
and librarian. Shaun has been involved with the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and 
is a Keeper of the Sacred Bundle. He also served on staff for 2 years 
at H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Shaun led a group of boys and adults in 
the removal of the obsolete woodland trail header and in the 
construction of a new woodland trail header for Martha Lafite Thompson 
Nature Sanctuary. The new header will be enjoyed by many visitors and 
has increased the safety of the trail.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Shaun Thomas 
Diamond for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
