                         Tuesday, June 1, 2004

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Justin Myers, 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 320, and by earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Justin has been very active with his troop by participating in many 
Scout activities, earning numerous merit badges, and serving in a 
variety of leadership positions. He has held such positions as Patrol 
Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol Leader, as well as 
Troup Guide. Justin has attended camp at Saukenauk Scout Reservation as 
well as Camp Maumee and Polar Bear Camp. He has also attended a High 
Adventure in Elk Horn, Colorado and a National High Adventure in the 
Northern Tier Bissett. Justin's dedication is quite impressive as he 
has been a member of four separate Councils through his career in the 
Scouts. For his Eagle Scout project, Justin organized the materials for 
him and his fellow Scouts to construct a safe and enjoyable playground 
area for the children of the Clay County Christian Church.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Justin Myers 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
