  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Brooke Jackson. Brooke is a very special young woman who has 
exemplified the finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by 
taking an active part in the Boy Scouts of America, Venturing Crew 
2883, and earning a most prestigious recognition, the Venturing Silver 
Award.
  Brooke has been very active with her troop, participating in many 
activities. Over the years Brooke has been involved with scouting, she 
has not only earned numerous awards, but also the respect of her 
family, peers, and community. The Venturing Silver Award is the 
equivalent of obtaining an Eagle Scout and recognizes the high level of 
achievement Brooke has accomplished through the Venturing program.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Brooke 
Jackson for her accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
her efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of the 
Silver Award.
