  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Branden Demar 
Thoele of Kansas City, Missouri. Branden is 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 1378, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Branden has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the many years Branden has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Branden 
Demar Thoele for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and 
for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
