  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Kyle D. Snyder, 
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 351, and in earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Kyle has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the three years Kyle has been involved with Scouting, 
he has earned 40 merit badges and has held numerous leadership 
positions, serving as Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, 
Quartermaster, and Chaplain Aide. Kyle has also received the honor of 
Arrow of Light, is a Brotherhood Member in the Order of the Arrow, and 
is a Brave in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Kyle planned and built ten blue 
birdhouses and one wood duck house. He then placed them along a nature 
trail and the pond at Riverview Park in Platte City, Missouri.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Kyle D. 
Snyder for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
