  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Todd Matthew Calton. Todd 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 397, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Todd has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Todd has been involved with scouting, 
he has not only earned 53 merit badges, but also the respect of his 
family, peers, and community. Most notably, Todd is a member of the 
Order of the Arrow and earned the rank of Tom-Tom Beater in the Tribe 
of Mic-O-Say. Todd has also contributed to his community through his 
Eagle Scout project. Todd built an outdoor volleyball court at Kearney 
Bible Church in Kearney, Missouri, a project that took Todd and his 
team of volunteers 340 hours to complete. Todd also plans on serve our 
country in the United States Marine Corps beginning in September 2012.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Todd Matthew 
Calton for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
