  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Samuel Morrison Evans. Samuel 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 87, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Samuel has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Samuel has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Samuel has 
earned 65 merit badges and spent countless hours volunteering at the 
Cameron Food Pantry and with the American Legion. Samuel has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Samuel 
planned and constructed landscaping around Parkview Elementary in 
Cameron, Missouri. Samuel also designed and painted murals inside the 
school gymnasium to make the room more appealing to the student 
population.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Samuel 
Morrison Evans for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
