  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Phillip Stewart 
Elliott, 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 99, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Phillip has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the five years he has been involved in scouting, 
he has earned 27 merit badges. Additionally, Phillip has held numerous 
leadership positions in his troop, serving as Quartermaster and Junior 
Assistant Scout Master. Phillip also has been honored for his numerous 
scouting achievements with such awards as the Spotted War Shirt and the 
Runner in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Phillip repaired and refurbished picnic 
tables for Trenton Park System, in Trenton, Missouri, which included 
making some tables handicapped accessible.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Phillip 
Stewart Elliott for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
