WHEREAS,
Malcolm Jackson 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

only one scout out of 97 ever reaches this lofty level of achievement, and
Malcolm Jackson has ably demonstrated his aptitude and competency in mastering
the various special skills taught through the Boy Scout program;
and
WHEREAS,
this outstanding young man has truly exhibited a commitment to scouting
principles, as demonstrated by his Eagle Scout project; and

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
Malcolm Jackson for his diligence and dedication in pursuing the highest honor
awarded by the Boy Scouts of America and congratulate him on attaining the
