  Mr. BUCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Elijah Marler of 
Boy Scouts of America Troop 46 from Fort Morgan, Colorado. On August 
28, 2019, Elijah was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout for his 
outstanding accomplishments. Since 1920, the Boy Scouts of America has 
helped mold young men in a disciplined environment with only a fraction 
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Over the years, the Eagle Scout rank 
has become an American icon symbolizing the core principles of honor, 
duty, resourcefulness, and courage.
  Throughout his time as a scout, Elijah has grown as a leader among 
his peers and is dedicated to serving others. For his Eagle Scout 
service project, Elijah helped organize a creative mural project at the 
Converge Daytime Treatment Center in Brush, Colorado. This specialized 
treatment center provides a therapeutic treatment program and targeted 
academic instruction in a structured, small

group setting for students with emotional disabilities or autism 
spectrum disorders in the northeastern Colorado region. Artwork is a 
critical component of many therapy programs, and I commend Elijah for 
his commitment to serving his community in this capacity.
  Madam Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Elijah Marler for his many 
accomplishments, including earning the rank of Eagle Scout
