qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in the 
Boy Scouts of America, Troop 314, and by earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Kyle has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Kyle started his journey with the Boy Scouts seven years 
ago earning 28 merit badges. Over the years Kyle has been involved in 
scouting, he has held many leadership positions such as historian, 
librarian, patrol and assistant patrol leader. Kyle is an Ordeal in the 
Order of the Arrow and is a Foxman in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Kyle has 
attended H. Roe Bartle Reservation for three years and has also camped 
at Camp Nash on four separate occasions. For his Eagle Scout project, 
Kyle designed and constructed two horse mounting platforms for 
Heartland Presbyterian Center.
  Madam Speaker, I would be remiss if I did not mention the strong 
family foundation Kyle has supporting him. His proud parents Mark and 
Britt Bowman, as well as his sister, Amanda.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Kyle E.
