  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Jeremy 
Christopher Wood, 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 395, and in earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.

  Jeremy has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. He has served as a patrol leader and assistant senior 
patrol leader and achieved the rank of Brotherhood in the Order of the 
Arrow and Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Over the many years Jeremy 
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 Service Project, Jeremy designed and directed the 
installation of two specially designed firepit shelters at the 
Heartland Presbyterian Youth Camp in Platte County. These shelters 
protect the firewood that is used by the campers and visitors to have 
fun campfires while delivering their youth-oriented programs.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jeremy 
Christopher Wood for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
