  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Adam S.J. Battles. Adam 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 360, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Adam has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Adam 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, Adam has 
earned the rank of Tom-Tom Beater in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and became 
a Member of the Order of the Arrow. Adam has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Adam built eight wooden 
benches for parents and spectators to sit on while watching events at 
the Northland Therapeutic Riding Center in Holt, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Adam S.J. 
Battles for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
