  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Zachary Michael P'Pool. Zachary 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 247, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Zachary has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Zachary 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, Zachary has 
earned the Arrow of Light, 2011 Chieftains Award, Coup of the Long 
Trail Award and the God and Country Award. Zachary has also contributed 
to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Zachary planned, 
managed and assisted in creation of a walking path 350 yards long, 
requiring 300 man hours, from Northview Elementary School to the 
school's nature area nicked named Coughlin's Corner.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Zachary 
Michael P'Pool for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
