  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Dakota Parton. Dakota 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 337, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Dakota has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Dakota 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, Dakota has 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Dakota Parton 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
