                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 9, 2007

  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to extend congratulations to 
William Bruce Orr, who recently accomplished the highest rank in Boy 
Scouting, becoming an Eagle Scout on October 14, 2007. He is a member 
of Boy Scout Troop 142, Mannhoac District, located in Leetown, West 
Virginia.
  William helped improve one of America's recreational treasures, the 
Appalachian Trail. He constructed a tent pad along the trail at the Rod 
Hollow site in northern Virginia. He and others carried lumber and 
tools from the base of the trail to the top of the mountain where the 
site is located. His tent pad structure will provide hikers with 
shelter for years to come.
  Jeremiah was home schooled in Jefferson County and was a 2007 
recipient of the Promise Scholarship. He is currently a freshman at 
Shepherd University.
  I am proud to recognize William Bruce Orr for achieving the high 
honor of the Eagle Scout. Jefferson County and the State of West 
Virginia are fortunate to have him as a leader and a volunteer in his 
community.
