taking an active part in the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 249, and

badges, but also the respect of his family, peers, and community. Most 
notably, Jack has led his troop as the assistant patrol leader, 
quartermaster and patrol leader while also becoming a member of the 
Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Jack has also contributed to his community through 
his Eagle Scout project. Jack constructed shelving and organized the 
commercial kitchen of The Farmer's House in Weston, Missouri, an 
organization where many adults with developmental disabilities are 
employed. Jack made the kitchen more friendly for these workers, 
including the additional shelving and labeling the kitchen in Braille, 
in simple text and with pictures.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jack Patrick 
Corgan for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
