                       Wednesday, January 8, 2020

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Joseph Mayne. Joseph 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 356, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Joseph has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Joseph 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, Joseph has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Joseph 
located, plotted out, and painted mile markers for every quarter-mile 
along a four-mile loop around Watkins Mill Lake in Watkins Mill State 
Park, allowing first responders to have some means of locating those in 
need of their help when an emergency call is made and for hikers to 
track their progress around the lake.
   Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Joseph 
Mayne for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
