  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
David Stengel Erickson. David 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 5, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  David has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years David has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. David has also contributed 
to his community through his Eagle Scout project. David raised $3,800 
to resod the playground at the Helping Hand Home for Children. He 
planned, coordinated, and recruited all of the volunteers. Furthermore, 
David handled the logistics of food and beverage donations for the 
volunteers, so that they had something to eat and drink while they 
worked.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending David Stengel 
Erickson for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
