  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Jacob Shipley. 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 320, 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 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Jacob 
researched and led a restoration of destroyed quail habitat on federal 
wetlands in northern Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jacob 
Shipley for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
