  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Tyler Sparks. Tyler 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 249, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Tyler has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Tyler has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Tyler has 
earned the rank of Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and is a member of 
the Order of the Arrow. Tyler has also contributed to his community 
through his Eagle Scout project. Tyler designed and constructed 6 
raised historical gardens at Watkins Mill State Park outside of 
Kearney, Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Tyler 
Sparks for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
