  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Colton Harris. Colton 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 1376, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Colton has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Colton has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned 33 merit badges, but also the respect 
of his family, peers, and community. Colton has achieved much as a 
scout, having achieved the ranks of Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior 
Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, Quartermaster, and Librarian. Colton has 
also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Colton's project entailed 200 hours of extensive landscaping to enhance 
the area in which he worked.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Colton 
Harris for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America, and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
