  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Mary Scott-
Hallof Saint Joseph, Missouri. Mary is a leader in the Girl Scouts, 
representing the Midland Empire for over seven years, and she has been 
chosen to receive the YWCA Women of Excellence Award for Women in 
Volunteerism.
  As a leader in the Girl Scouts, Mary has gone beyond her expected 
role, helping to grow the community's interest and excitement for the 
Girl Scouts. She has organized a variety of service projects for her 
troop, including donations to the YWCA Women's Abuse Shelter and 
America's Second Harvest Food Bank. As the Day Camp director for the 
St. Joseph area, she has provided exceptional programs to over 100 
girls each summer. Additionally donating her time to Camp Woodland, she 
was responsible for preparing meals and programs for up to 150 girls 
and adults.
  Her achievements to the Girl Scouts are highly recognized. Her troop 
built the Manley Tillison Outdoor Classroom, a part of the troop's 
Silver Medal Award project. In addition, she has been given the Girl 
Scouts Outstanding Volunteer Pin by her peers and received the Service 
to Mankind Award from the St. Joseph Downtown Sertoma Club.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Mary Scott-
Hall. Her commitment to the Girl Scouts and service in the community 
are to be admired. I am honored to represent her in the United States 
Congress.
