  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Joshua Knowles. Joshua 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 1099, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Joshua has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Joshua 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, Joshua has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Joshua 
collected materials and sewing famine hygiene kids for Days for Girls, 
which distributes the kits to young women in impoverished countries so 
they can stay in school when they get to the age of menstruation.
   Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joshua 
Knowles for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
