                      Wednesday, December 10, 2014

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Jackson Rexford. Jackson 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 206, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Jackson has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jackson 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, Jackson has 
led his troop as the Patrol Leader and also became a Brave in the Tribe 
of Mic-O-Say and a Brotherhood Member of the Order of the Arrow. 
Jackson has also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout 
project. Jackson constructed four raised planters for Susquehanna 
Baptist Church in Independence, Missouri. All of the food produced in 
these planters will be provided to the church's food pantry.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in commending Jackson Rexford for 
his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his efforts 
put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
