  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Collins Alan Beatty. Collins 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 314, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Collins has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Collins has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned 36 merit badges, but also the respect 
of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Collins has led his 
troop in various positions including Assistant Patrol Leader, has 
earned the rank of Brave in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and is an Arrowman 
in the Order of the Arrow. Collins has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Collins removed old 
landscaping and planted new shrubs along a walking trail at Chinn 
Elementary in Kansas City, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Collins Alan 
Beatty for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
