  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joseph William 
Michael, 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 167, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Joseph has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the years Joseph has been involved with 
scouting, he has earned 38 merit badges and is a Firebuilder in the 
Tribe of Mic-O-Say. He served on Cub Scout Camp staff for 5 years. 
Joseph has also attended the National Scout Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill 
in Virginia and the Junior Leader Training Conference at the Pony 
Express Council.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Joseph built a stadium canopy for the 
Winston High School baseball field.
