1-2 |
of America (BSA) is one of our finest assets, providing young men with an educational program |
|
1-3 |
that contributes significantly to their character development, citizenship training, and improved |
|
1-4 |
mental and physical fitness; and |
|
1-5 |
WHEREAS, For over a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this |
|
1-6 |
country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of |

productive society; and |

WHEREAS, One hundred years after Arthur Eldred of New York earned this nation's |

Eagle Scouts have on society every day. Since the Eagle Scout rank was first awarded in 1912, |

more than 2 million young men have achieved the Boy Scouts of America's highest honor; and |

WHEREAS, After considerable effort and diligent preparation, nine scouts from Troop |
|

10, Westerly, Rhode Island, have recently joined the prestigious Eagle Court of Honor; and |
|
1-15 |
WHEREAS, Through their hard work and perseverance, and through the exceptional |
|
1-16 |
support provided by their troop leaders and peers, these scouts have joined other high achievers |
|
1-17 |
who are Eagle Scouts, including astronauts, political and industry leaders, artists, scientists, and |
|
1-18 |
athletes; and |
|
1-19 |
WHEREAS, Boy Scout Troop 10 has earned recognition and praise for its ability to |
|
1-20 |
nurture the aspirations of its troop members, sustain their interests, and move them to successful |
|
2-1 |
completion of their goals; and |
|
2-2 |
WHEREAS, Attaining the rank of Eagle reflects positively on each individual Boy Scout, |
|
2-3 |
as well as on the many people who contribute to his efforts; now, therefore be it |
|
2-4 |
RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and |
|
