  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ben Andrew 
Schamel of Blue Springs, Missouri. Ben is 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, Unit 1362, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Ben has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Ben 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 Ben Andrew 
Schamel for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
