  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Travis A.

qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, Troop 175, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Travis has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the eight years Travis has been involved with 
scouting, he has earned 29 merit badges and has held numerous 
leadership positions, serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, 
Quartermaster, Assistant Patrol Leader, Scribe, and Chaplain Aid.
