  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Dane K. Hagen, 
son of Susan and Mike Hagen, of Kearney, Missouri. Dane 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 397, and by earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Dane has been very active with his troop, participating in many Scout 
activities. Over the 8 years Dane has been involved with Scouting, he 
has earned 39 merit badges and held several leadership positions. Dane 
has served his troop as Patrol Leader, Quartermaster, Troop Bugler, and 
Senior Patrol Leader. Dane is a brave in the Tribe of Mic-o-Say, where 
he has taken the name ``Mighty Wolf Stalking Prey,'' and is also a 
brotherhood member in the Order of the Arrow. In addition, Dane has 
earned the God and Church Award, World Conservation Award, Eagle Bronze 
Palm, and H. Roe Bartle Heritage Award.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Dane constructed a fence around the City 
of Kearney's water tower and variform pump house, and planted 
evergreens and shrubbery around the new fence.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Dane K. Hagen 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
