  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Peyton Thompson. Peyton 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 1376, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Peyton has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Peyton 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, Peyton has 
served his troop as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader and attended the 
Seabase High Adventure in the Bahamas. Peyton has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Peyton constructed two 
raised garden beds for Pharis Farm, an antebellum Clay County Historic 
Site outside of Liberty, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Peyton 
Thompson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
