  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Caleb D. 
Henderson, 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, and by earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Caleb has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the years Caleb has been involved in Scouting, 
he has earned 27 merit badges and held numerous leadership positions, 
serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. Caleb is also an Ordeal 
Member of the Order of the Arrow and earned the World Conservation 
Award in February 2007.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Caleb designed and trained Scouts in 
concrete work and supervised the construction of a dumpster pad 
facility for North Oak Christian Church in Kansas City. Caleb has also 
attended the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, and three camporees and 
two Klondike Derbys.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Caleb D. 
Henderson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
