  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize David Christopher 
Meyer of Boy Scouts of America Troop 261. On July 2nd of this year, 
David will be awarded the rank of Eagle Scout for his outstanding 
accomplishments.
  Throughout his time in scouting, David has grown to be a leader of 
other young men and is dedicated to the service of others. He graduated 
Big Horn National Youth Leadership training, served as a crew leader on 
an 85 mile backpacking trek at Philmont Scout Ranch, has been elected 
to the Order of the Arrow, and is currently serving as his troop's 
Senior Patrol Leader.
  For his Eagle project David worked with Drifter's Hearts of Hope, a 
nonprofit institute that rescues horses selected for slaughter and uses 
them for therapy with disabled children. After rescuing a mare named 
Cabo, David and his team designed and built a shelter for her. Cabo was 
then designed to David's childhood friend, who has been battling a life 
threatening illness. David received the Eagle Project of the Year Award 
for the Pioneer Trails District for his project, being one of 8 young 
men recognized by the Optimist Club out of nearly 500 Eagle Scouts.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize David Christopher Meyer for 
his many accomplishments.
