Greater St. Louis Area Boy Scout Council who is being honored in 
ceremonies today for earning his Eagle Scout Rank on July 21, 2016.
  For his Eagle Scout Project, Tyler built a ``Welcome to Hillsboro'' 
sign for the city. He came up with the idea, helped design the sign, 
gathered the supplies, raised funds to build it and supervised the 
construction. He worked a total of 350.2 man hours on the project.
  Tyler's scouting career began in Pack 547 where he earned the highest 
Cub Scout Award, the Arrow of Light. In Boy Scouts, he attended 
National Youth Leader training and became a member of the Order of the 
Arrow, the Honor Society of Scouting. He earned 29 merit badges, camped 
for 110 nights and spent a total of 189.6 hours in community service. 
His leadership in his troop is unmatched. Tyler is a senior at 
Hillsboro High School who plans to pursue a career in the computer 
field.
  For living by the Scout Oath and Law and being a fine example of how 
Scouting helps develop America's future leaders, I am proud to 
recognize Tyler Williams today before the United States House of 
Representatives
