  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Tanner Cook. Tanner 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.

  Tanner has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Tanner 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, Tanner has 
served his troop as the Den Chief, become a Brotherhood member of the 
Order of the Arrow, and earned the rank of Brave in the Tribe of Mic-O-
Say. Tanner has also contributed to his community through his Eagle 
Scout project. Tanner led a team in designing and constructing an 
outdoor worship center at Antioch Community Church in Kansas City, 
Missouri, leveling the area with paving stones, building a retaining 
wall, 15 benches, fire pit, and a walking path to the worship center.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Tanner Cook 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
