  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jason Robert 
Sten, son of Kathy Holmquist and Patrick Sten of Saint Joseph, 
Missouri. Jason 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 31, and by earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout. Jason will receive his Eagle Award on 
October 2, 2005 at Saint Francis Xavier Parish Center.
  Jason has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the 8 years Jason has been involved with 
Scouting, he has earned numerous merit badges, honors, and leadership 
positions. Jason has served his troop as Senior Patrol Leader, 
Assistant Scoutmaster, and Troop Guide. Jason holds the rank of Runner 
in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, and earned the Mile Swim Award. During his 
years in the Scouts, Jason spent 8 years at Camp Geiger and was a 
member of the Junior Leader Training Staff.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jason Robert 
Sten for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
