                        Wednesday, April 9, 2014

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Troy Spring. Troy 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 374, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Troy has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Troy 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, Troy has 
earned the rank of Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, become a 
Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow and led his troop as the 
Patrol Leader. Troy has also contributed to his community through his 
Eagle Scout project. Troy led a team in removing and replacing more 
than 300 feet of fencing at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in Kansas 
City, Missouri. The fenced area houses a Cars Ministry facility, which 
provides basic car maintenance for single mothers and low-income 
families.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Troy Spring 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
