  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Clayton Bentch. Clayton 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 1376, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Clayton has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Clayton 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, Clayton has 
led his troop as the Patrol Leader, become a Brotherhood member of the 
Order of the Arrow, and holds the rank of Firebuilder in the tribe of 
Mic-O-Say. Clayton has also contributed to his community through his 
Eagle Scout project.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Clayton 
Bentch for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
