  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Nicholas St. 
Clair, 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 175, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Nicholas has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Alex has been involved with 
scouting, he has earned 39 merit badges and held numerous leadership 
positions, serving as Patrol Leader, Quartermaster and Den Chief to the 
Pack. Nicholas is also a Tribe Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Nicholas created a secondary emergency 
evacuation trail at Daniel Young Elementary School for Keystone Park in 
Blue Springs, Missouri. Nicholas has also earned several special awards 
including the 12 Month Camper A ward, the Internet Safety Award, and 
the 50 Miler Award.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Nicholas 
St. Clair for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
