  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Nicholas 
David Fuston, 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 376, and by earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Nicholas has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the years Nicholas has been involved in 
Scouting, he has earned 31 merit badges and held numerous leadership 
positions, serving as Patrol Leader, Den Chief, Quartermaster, 
Librarian, Troop Guide and Senior Patrol Leader. Nicholas is also a 
Brotherhood Member in the Order of the Arrow and a Warrior in the Tribe 
of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Nicholas planned and supervised the 
reconstruction and enlargement of a shelter by a pond at the Martha 
Lafite Thompson Nature Sanctuary in Liberty, Missouri. Nicholas has 
also attended the National High Adventures Camp, and has earned the 12 
Month Camper Award and the 100 Nights Camper Award.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Nicholas 
David Fuston for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle
