WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
pay tribute to those organizations that are devoted to instilling in
youth the values of community service and civic responsibility; and
WHEREAS, Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and its members are dedicated
to the development of character and leadership in the youth of this
Nation; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to

Scout, to be celebrated at a Court of Honor ceremony on Sunday, June 13,
2021, at the Fire Ring and Pavilion at West Hills County Park,

WHEREAS, Since its inception in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has
provided boys and young men the opportunities to learn skills and to
take part in adventures; a Scout learns to camp and hike, and how to
live in the outdoors; a Scout also learns about the world around us and
studies citizenship in the community, in the Nation, and in the world;
and
WHEREAS, In addition, Scouting gives a boy the experiences and
responsibilities to help him mature as a strong and confident adult;
Scouting is a doorway to lifelong friendships; and
WHEREAS, A fairly small but active troop under the luminous
leadership of Scoutmaster Steve Kowalski and Committee Chair Rudy Von
Bartesch, Boy Scouts of America Troop 106 of Huntington, meets weekly
and gives tirelessly of its time and energies to the local community;
and
WHEREAS, Sponsored by the Huntington Elks Lodge No. 1565, Boy Scouts
of America Troop 106 was founded in 1954, and has developed a proud
history while maintaining the traditional values of Scouting; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is moved to add its commendation and
congratulations on this notable occasion, recognizing the exemplary
efforts and promising future of Boy Scouts of America Troop 106, upon
the occasion of celebrating the 100th Scout to achieve the prestigious
rank of Eagle Scout and its dedicated leadership who have given so
selflessly, with meritorious achievement, in contributing to the
education and development of the youth of their community; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the Boy Scouts of America Troop 106 upon the occasion of its
100th Scout to achieve the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout; and be it
further
