community. Most notably, Jax has led his troop in various positions 
including Patrol Leader, has earned the rank of Foxman in the Tribe of 
Mic-O-Say and is a Brotherhood Member in the Order of the Arrow. Jax 
has also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Jax redesigned, cleared and constructed a 70 foot stretch of walking 
trail in the Parkville Nature Sanctuary in Parkville, Missouri, 
connecting a new bridge to the walking trail and adding new approaches 
to the bridge.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Jackson

and for his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of 
Eagle Scout.
