  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Elijah Bosley. Elijah 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 412, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

  Elijah has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Elijah 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, Elijah held 
the rank of Tom Beater in the Tribe of Mico-Say and earned both the 
National Outdoor Achievement and the World Conservation Award. Elijah 
has also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Elijah led the construction and installation of 4 benches in the Harbor 
Lake neighborhood. The benches will be utilized as resting spots and 
scenic areas along the trail system in the neighborhood. Additionally, 
one bench is a bus stop location for school age kids.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Elijah for 
his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts 
put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
