  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jacob R. 
Wilson. Jacob 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 249, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Jacob has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jacob has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Jacob has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Jacob has 
also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Jacob led 20 scouts in the construction of a new 4x8 sign for Weston 
Christian Church, at the corner of Washington and Spring Streets in 
Weston, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jacob R. 
Wilson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
