  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Jacob R. Cogan. Jacob is 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 earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Jacob has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
scout activities. Over the many years Jacob has been involved with 
scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Jacob has 
earned the rank of Senior Patrol Leader in his troop and the World 
Conservation Award. Jacob also has contributed to his community through 
his Eagle Scout project. Jacob planted flowering shrubs above a 
retaining wall and installed a park bench at Benner Park in Weston, 
Missouri.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jacob R. 
Cogan for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
