  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Quinton Cole Whitaker. Quinton 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 247, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Quinton has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Quinton 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, Quinton has 
become a Foxman, a Warrior in the Tribe of the Mic-O-Say and has acted 
as Patrol Leader and Den Chief. Quinton has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Quinton, after discussion 
with the Elmo, Missouri, Betterment Club created a new park, complete 
with a trio of all wooden picnic tables and a pair of A frame swings.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Quinton Cole 
Whitaker for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
