  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Chad Thomas 
Stephens, 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 395, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Chad has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. He has camped at the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation for 6 
years and attended the National Jamboree in 2005 while serving as the 
Senior Patrol Leader for Heart America Troop 1211. Over the many years 
Chad 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 Chad Thomas 
Stephens for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
