  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Eagle Scout 
Connor Killen, 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 216, and by achieving the incredible feat 
of earning all 122 possible merit badges.
  Connor has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Connor has shown an extraordinary commitment to 
scouting over the past six years as evidenced by the many weekends of 
hard work and the travel to five different states and two foreign 
countries as he worked towards earning his merit badges.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Connor 
Killen for his exceptional accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of 
America and for his efforts put forth in achieving this highest 
distinction.
