  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Travis 
Weaver, 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.
  Travis has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the years Travis has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community.
  Travis's dedication to his school work at West Platte High School has 
been excellent. Travis has also contributed significantly to the 
community, through his planning and organization of a project for the 
Platte City Parks and Recreation department, which included the 
addition of a brand new picnic and playground area.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Travis 
Weaver for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
