  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Maxwell 
Bowers of Kearney, Missouri. Maxwell is 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 1397, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Maxwell has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Maxwell has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Maxwell 
Bowers for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
