  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Eric Brown. Eric 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 714, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Eric has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Eric has been involved with scouting, 
he has not only earned 41 merit badges, but also the respect of his 
family, peers, and community. Eric has served his troop in many 
leadership roles, including Patrol Leader, Treasurer, Bugler and 
Scribe. Eric has also contributed to his community through his Eagle 
Scout project. Eric directed the installation of barbeque grills, a 
walkway between a shelter house and gazebo, and landscaped a rock 
garden and a rose garden in the New Market Christian Church Community 
Park in New Market, Missouri.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Eric Brown 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
