                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2005

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Steven Todd 
Orr, 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 633, and in earning the most prestigious award 
of Eagle Scout. Steven received his Eagle Award on March 5, 2005 at an 
Eagle Court of Honor in Platte Woods, Missouri.
  Steven has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the many years, Steven has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but the respect 
of his family, peers, and community. He is truly an exemplary Scout.
  For his Eagle project, Steven designed and built a Prayer Path at 
Platte Woods United Methodist Church, where I might add, his Eagle 
Court of Honor was held. Steven's work on this project included 
designing, planning, and implementing the path construction on newly 
acquired church property. Steven cleared the path area, and installed 
rock and flagstones, as well as plant life. The project provides church 
members with a place to pray and reflect.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Steven Todd 
Orr for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
