  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Nathan 
Michael Kelly, 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 205, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.

  Nathan has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities and over the past seven years he has attended camp at 
the Bartle Scout Reservation. In the summer of 2005, Nathan was part of 
a crew that went on a 9-day, 50-mile backpacking trip at the Philmont 
Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM.
  In addition, Nathan is a member of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and has 
progressed through the ranks of Foxman, Brave, Warrior, and 
Firebuilder. Currently, Nathan holds the rank of Tom-Tom Beater. Since 
Nathan has been involved with scouting, he has not only earned numerous 
merit badges, but also the respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Nathan 
Michael Kelly for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
