RESOLUTION
Commending
Walt Harpe; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Walt Harpe of Cordele, Georgia, 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 Walt
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 the scouting
principles of honesty and fairness and has consistently conducted himself in a
manner becoming an Eagle Scout; 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 this body commends Walt Harpe for
his diligence and dedication in pursuing the highest honor awarded by the Boy
Scouts of America and congratulates 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 Walt Harpe.
