Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Elijah Bosley. Elijah 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 412, and earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

Elijah has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout activities. Over the many years Elijah 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, Elijah held the rank of Tom Beater in the Tribe of Mico-Say and earned both the National Outdoor Achievement and the World Conservation Award. Elijah has also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Elijah led the construction and installation of 4 benches in the Harbor Lake neighborhood. The benches will be utilized as resting spots and scenic areas along the trail system in the neighborhood. Additionally, one bench is a bus stop location for school age kids.

Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Elijah for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
