  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Thomas M. 
Reedy, 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 175, and in earning the most prestigious 
award of Eagle Scout.
  Thomas has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the seven years Thomas has been involved with 
scouting, he has held numerous leadership positions, serving as Troop-
Patrol Leader and Instructor. Thomas is also a Brave in the Tribe of 
Mic-O-Say and participated in High Adventure.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Thomas built, stained, and installed 
sturdy oak bunk ladders for the Rotary Camp in Lee's Summit, Missouri, 
where Thomas went on his first official campout as a Boy Scout.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Thomas Reedy 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
