  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Christopher 
Robert Kennaley, 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 261, and in earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Christopher has been very active with his troop, participating in 
such scout activities as the H. Roe Bartle Summer Camp for 7 years, the 
Philmont High Adventure and the Packard High Adventure. Over the nine 
years he has been involved in scouting, Christopher has earned 33 merit 
badges. Additionally, he has held numerous leadership positions, 
serving as three time patrol leader and assistant senior patrol leader. 
Christopher also has been honored for his numerous scouting 
achievements with such awards as the member of the Order of the Arrow, 
the Parvuli Dei Catholic Religious Award, the Ad Altars Dei Catholic 
Religious Medal, the Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say Award and 
the World Conservation Award.
  For his eagle scout project, Christopher designed and constructed a 
fence on the side of a storage shed at St. Therese Catholic Church in 
Parkville, MO.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Christopher 
Robert Kennaley for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
