  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Benjamin Duncan. Benjamin 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.
   Benjamin has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Benjamin 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, Benjamin has 
served as the Senior Patrol Leader, become a Brotherhood Member of the 
Order of the Arrow, and earned the rank of Fire Builder in the Tribe of 
Mic-O-Say. Benjamin has also contributed to his community through his 
Eagle Scout project. Benjamin designed and completed 15 wooden benches 
for an outdoor worship area for the Antioch Community Church in Kansas 
City, Missouri.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Benjamin 
Duncan for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
