  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Gaige Harry 
Pope of Blue Springs, Missouri. Gaige 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, Troop 1603, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

Scout activities. Over the many years Gaige has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
