  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jared Hill of 
Weston, Missouri, 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 249, and in earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout. Jared achieved the rank of Eagle 
Scout on February 10, 2005.
  Jared has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years that Jared has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Jared organized the placement of park 
benches, tables, parking, and landscaping at Weston Bend State Park.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jared Hill 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
