qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, Troop 447, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.

Scout activities. Over the many years Micah 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 Micah R. 
Coomes for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for
