  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Grant Corkill. Grant 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 1412, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Grant has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Grant 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, Grant has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Grant 
planned and led the construction of a perch pole at Smithville Lake for 
eagles and other birds to rest on within easy sight for bird-watchers.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Grant 
Corkill for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
