qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, Troop 376, and by earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Eric has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the years Eric has been involved in scouting, he has 
earned 34 merit badges and held numerous leadership positions, serving 
as Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, Scribe, Quartermaster and 
Assistant Senior Patrol Leader. Eric is also an Ordeal Member in the 
Order of the Arrow and a Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Eric planned and supervised the 
construction of a 24-foot handicap accessible walking bridge over a 
ditch at the earnest Shepherd Youth Center in Liberty, Missouri. Erik 
has also attended three National High Adventures Camps, and has earned 
the 12 Month Camper Award and the 100 Nights Camper Award.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Eric Edward
