  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize

exemplified the finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by 
taking an active part in the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 205, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Christian has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Christian 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, Christian 
has earned the rank of Senior Patrol Leader in his troop and the World 
Conservation Award. Christian also has contributed to his community 
through his Eagle Scout project. Christian designed and constructed a 
wooden fence around the trash dumpsters at his troops sponsoring
