                      Thursday, November 15, 2007

  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to extend congratulations to 
Jeremy Thomas Charlton, who recently received the highest rank in boy 
scouting, Eagle Scout, on September 23, 2007. He is a member of Troop 
33, sponsored by First United Methodist Church in Romney, WV.
  For his Eagle Scout service project, Jeremy painted and repaired 
three buildings at the Hampshire County Fairgrounds. These buildings 
are used every summer in August during the Hampshire County Fair and 
throughout the year by various community organizations. Jeremy's 
beautification and improvements have increased the fairground as a 
whole.
  Throughout his involvement since Cub Scouts, Jeremy has been an 
exemplary scout. He is a recipient of the Arrow of Light Award and 
officiates as a Scout Chaplain Aide to his fellow scouts.
  In addition to his scout activities, Jeremy is very involved with his 
church's youth group and is a member of the Bible quiz team. A 
dedicated citizen, Jeremy has taken on several community service 
projects including food drives, picking up litter, and helping clean up 
the Potomac River.
  Jeremy is truly representative of the Scout oath, ``to do my duty to 
God and country'' and I am proud to recognize a dedicated young man, 
like Jeremy Charlton. Hampshire County is fortunate to have him as a 
leader and I look forward to hearing about his future accomplishments.
