  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joel Sterling 
Humble, 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 205, and by earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Joel has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the years Joel has been involved in scouting, he has 
earned 39 merit badges and held numerous leadership positions, serving 
as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Librarian and Scribe.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Joel cleared a \1/4\-mile long fence of 
overgrown brush and debris at the Blue Springs Cemetery. Joel has 
earned the highest award offered in the Cubs scout program, the Arrow 
of Light Award in April 2002.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joel 
Sterling Humble for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
