  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Joseph R. Pluenneke. Joseph 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 261, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Joseph has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Joseph 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, Joseph has 
become a member of the Order of the Arrow and led his troop as Patrol 
Leader. Joseph has also contributed to his community through his Eagle 
Scout project. Joseph completed much needed improvements to the White 
Tail Trail at the Parkville Nature Sanctuary in Parkville, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joseph R. 
Pluenneke for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
