  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize

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.
  Alex has been very active with his troop, participating in many scout 
activities. Over the many years Alex 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, Alex has contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Alex scraped and spray 
painted 28 fire hydrants in Liberty, Missouri.
