                       Tuesday, December 9, 2008

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Dylan Reno, 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 87, and by earning the most prestigious award of 
Eagle Scout.
  Dylan has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Dylan has shown an extraordinary commitment to 
scouting as evidenced by earning 41 merit badges and holding several 
leadership positions in the troop. In July of 2005, Dylan earned the 
World Conservation Award.
  Dylan's Eagle Scout service project consisted of constructing several 
bird feeders and landscaping around the ``sitting room'' of the 
Missouri Veterans Home in Cameron, Missouri. This project continued the 
tradition of community service established by the Boy Scouts of 
America.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Dylan Reno 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
