  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Hunter Samuel Bentch. 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 376, 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 led 
his troop as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and attended the Colorado 
and Philmont High Adventure Camps. Hunter has also contributed to his 
community through his Eagle Scout project. Hunter designed and 
constructed a five-foot high, 46-foot long, fence along a section of 
the Trail of Heroes at the Kansas City Missouri Police Academy where 
the trail had a sharp drop-off.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Hunter 
Samuel Bentch for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
