  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jacob William 
Ward. 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 412, 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 distinction of becoming a Fire Builder in the Tribe of Mic-O-
Say. He is a Brotherhood Member of the Order of the Arrow and has 
served his troop as Senior Patrol Leader, Junior Assistant Scout Master 
and Troop Guide. Jacob has also contributed to his community through 
his Eagle Scout project. Jacob constructed, built and placed benches 
along the walking trails at Smithville Lake so that his community can 
enjoy Smithville Lake and the surrounding wildlife.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jacob William 
Ward for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
