  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Preston Sivils. Preston 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 271, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Preston has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Preston 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, Preston has 
led his troop as the Senior Patrol Leader, earned the rank of Tom-Tom 
Beater in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, and become a Brotherhood member of 
the Order of the Arrow. Preston has also contributed to his community 
through his Eagle Scout project. Preston designed, planned, and 
installed five agility obstacles for Waggin Tails, the new North Kansas 
City, Missouri, off-leash dog park.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Preston 
Sivils for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
