West Berrigan, 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 9, 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 many years Joseph has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joseph

America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest 
distinction of Eagle Scout.
