  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Christopher 
Stroup, 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 247, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Christopher has been very active with his troop, participating in 
many scout activities. Over the twelve years Christopher has been 
involved with scouting, he has earned 33 merit badges and has held 
numerous leadership positions, serving as patrol leader and den chief. 
Christopher is also a member in the Order of the Arrow and the Tribe of 
Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Christopher planned the design, obtained 
the needed materials, and constructed storage cabinets for the science 
department of Oak Park High School in the North Kansas City School 
District.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Christopher 
Stroup for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
