  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Sean David 
Huntley of Platte City, Missouri, 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.
  Sean has been a part of Troop 351 for 5 years, and during that time 
period he has served in a variety of leadership positions. He has 
served his troop as Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Scribe, and 
Librarian. During that time period, he earned 43 merit badges and the 
God and Church Medal. In addition to the numerous leadership positions 
and merit badges, Sean is a Brotherhood Member in the Order of the 
Arrow, a Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, and spent 5 years at the H. 
Roe Bartle Scout Reservation. Sean also participated in Junior Leader 
Basic Training, Snorkeling, and National Camping. Sean also has 46 
service hours, 99 nights camping, and 78 miles hiking. He is truly an 
exemplary Scout.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Sean reconstructed an outside prayer 
area for United Methodist Church in Platte City, Missouri. Sean 
redesigned the fire pit, mulched the area, and then rebuilt the outside 
cross structure. He also constructed a trail and steps as a path to the 
prayer area.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Sean David 
Huntley for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
