  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Hunter Jeffrey Faris. Hunter 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.
   Hunter has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Hunter 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, Hunter has 
earned the rank of Firebuilder in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, led his troop 
in various leadership positions, and attended the Philmont Scout 
Reservation High Adventure in 2008. Hunter has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Hunter completed the 
construction of a 280 feet split rail wooden fence at Platte Ridge Park 
in Platte County, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Hunter 
Jeffrey Faris for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
