A
RESOLUTION
Commending
Joshua Samuel Leonard; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Joshua Samuel Leonard has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the most
distinguished rank conferred by the Boy Scouts of America; and
WHEREAS,
a candidate for the most exceptional award in scouting must complete a rigorous
program of training and demonstrate his proficiency in selected scouting
techniques and attainment of the highest ideals of scouting; and
WHEREAS,
only one scout out of 97 ever reaches this lofty level of achievement, and Josh
has ably demonstrated his aptitude and competency in mastering the various
special skills taught through the Boy Scout program; and
WHEREAS,
Josh is currently an honor student at University of Georgia; and his Eagle Scout
project was to design, build, and install picnic tables for the students at Dean
Rusk Middle School, an endeavor that included a considerable amount of
landscaping; and
WHEREAS,
in a world which consistently seems to accentuate the negative aspects of the
actions of young people, it is abundantly fitting and proper for this body to
recognize with particularity the outstanding accomplishments of this
extraordinary individual.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend
Joshua Samuel Leonard for his diligence and dedication in pursuing the highest
honor awarded by the Boy Scouts of America and congratulate him on attaining the
prestigious rank of Eagle Scout.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Joshua Samuel Leonard.
