  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Aaron Addison 
Taylor, 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, and by earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Aaron has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the years Aaron has been involved in scouting, 
he has earned 25 merit badges and held numerous leadership positions, 
serving as Quartermaster and Senior Patrol Leader. Aaron is also an 
Ordeal Member of the Order of the Arrow and entered the Tribe of Mic-O-
Say as Brave Unyielding Rock in 2006 and elevated to Hardway Warrior in 
2007.
  For his Eagle Scout project, Aaron designed and procured materials 
for and supervised the construction of ``no-stoop'' garden planter 
boxes for residents of the Kansas City Garden Village assisted living 
community. Aaron has also attended the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, 
and 3-year attendance at District Camporee and Klondike Derbies.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Aaron 
Addison Taylor for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America 
and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
