                        Wednesday, June 15, 2005

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Joshua Fisher 
of Weston, Missouri, 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 249, and in earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout. Joshua achieved the rank of Eagle 
Scout on October 14, 2004.
  Joshua has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years that Joshua has been involved 
with scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also 
the respect of his family, peers, and community.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Joshua organized the creation of a new 
welcome sign, the pouring of concrete slabs for picnic tables, and the 
installation of a new flag pole with lighting around t, all at Bless 
Park in Weston.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joshua Fisher 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
