                        Wednesday, April 9, 2014

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Troy Spring. Troy 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 374, and earning the most 
prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Troy has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Troy 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, Troy has earned the 
rank of Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, become a Brotherhood member 
of the Order of the Arrow, and led his troop as the Patrol Leader. Troy 
has also contributed to his community through his Eagle Scout project. 
Troy led a team in removing and replacing more than 300 feet of fencing 
at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in Kansas City, Missouri. The fenced 
area houses a Cars Ministry facility, which provides basic car 
maintenance for single mothers and low-income families.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Troy Spring 
for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for his 
efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle Scout.
