for  many  years, has lived up to Scouting's ideals and has attained all
of the necessary  achievements,  including  completion  of  a  community
service project, which was successfully planned, developed and executed;
and

  WHEREAS, For his project, Kieran Cook constructed a Human Sundial in

his community, his State and his Nation, and no doubt his future will be
filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it


  RESOLVED,  That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations, in
recognition of the significance  of  this  meritorious  achievement,  to
congratulate and honor Kieran Cook on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout;
