  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Austin McCoy. Austin 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 393, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
   Austin has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Austin 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, Austin has 
earned the rank of Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say and become a 
Brotherhood member in the Order of the Arrow. Austin has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. Austin 
worked with the Platte Land Trust to build a sign for their new 
Charlotte Sawyers Nature Area located in Parkville, Missouri.
   Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Austin 
McCoy for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
