  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Brian McCalmon, 
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.
  Brian has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the 12 years Brian has been involved with 
Scouting, he has earned 34 merit badges and has held numerous 
leadership positions, serving as patrol leader, troop guide, den chief, 
and troop bugler. Brian earned the honor of Brave, Warrior, and 
Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and served on staff at H. Roe 
Bartle Scout Reservation.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Brian planted new pine trees at Pine 
Ridge Presbyterian Church and removed four diseased trees.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Brian C. 
McCalmon for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
