WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America has a long and impressive history of preparing |
|
1-2 |
young men to assume responsibility in their communities. The Boy Scouts of America is one of |
|
1-3 |
the largest youth organizations in the United States. The rank of Eagle Scout, which was first |
|
1-4 |
introduced in 1911, is the highest a young man can attain in the Boy Scouts, and the title of Eagle |
|
1-5 |
Scout is held for life; and |

|

WHEREAS, Samuel Vaughn Narkawicz of Troop 39, Summit, Rhode Island, has |
|
1-13 |
completed the arduous and demanding requirements necessary to be awarded the rank of Eagle |

|
1-15 |
rank of Eagle, Samuel planned, developed, and carried out an extensive Eagle Scout service |
|
1-16 |
project. His Eagle Project was to construct a small trail leading to a reflecting area, which |
|
1-17 |
included benches and a podium at the Summit Baptist Church. The trail was dedicated to his |
|
1-18 |
Scout Master, Bernie George, and the reflecting area is utilized by the church community and |

Troop 39. Samuel and fellow scouts devoted countless hours and an amazing amount of energy |
|
1-20 |
carrying out his project for the benefit of the community; and |
|

celebrate the accomplishments of our future leaders. Eagle Scout Samuel Vaughn Narkawicz |
|
2-3 |

|
2-4 |
be; now, therefore be it |
