  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
John Trout. John 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 45, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  John has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years John 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, John has earned the God 
and Country award and represented the United States at Peak 2010, an 
international Scout Jamboree in Darby County, England. John has also 
contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. John 
built an outdoor patio for the Juda House, a long-term homeless shelter 
in St. Joseph, Missouri. John also designed a playground and ornamental 
flower garden for the Juda House.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending John Trout 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
