  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Philip

qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, Troop 376, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Philip has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the years Philip has been involved with 
scouting, he has earned 28 merit badges and held numerous leadership 
positions, serving as Troop Guide, Chaplain's Aide, Assistant Patrol 
Leader, and Patrol Leader. Philip is a Brotherhood Member in the Order 
of the Arrow and a Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. His tribal name 
is Silent Crocodile of the North Shore.
  Philip planned and directed the landscaping and remodeling of the 
entrance to the Mount Memorial Cemetery at William Jewell College. 
Philip has also added a bench and statue to the landscaping in the 
cemetery.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Philip 
William Isley for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
