  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Andrew Duncan Ireland. Andrew 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 81, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Andrew has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Andrew 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, Andrew has 
earned the rank of Junior Assistant Scout Master in his troop and Tom 
Tom Beater in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Andrew has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Andrew devoted over 160 
hours to a shelter house at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, 
restoring it back to its original architecture and cedar composition.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Andrew 
Duncan Ireland for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
