  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Garett Olson. Garett 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 81, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Garett has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Garett 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, Garett 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Garett 
sorted the clothing inventory and the restored the drop-off shed at the 
Better Living Center in Macon, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Garett Olson 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
