1-1

     WHEREAS, It is an extraordinary young man who chooses to dedicate himself to the

1-2

service of others by practicing the noble ideals of the Scout Oath and Scout Law; and

1-3

     WHEREAS, Not every boy, nor even every Scout, has the perseverance and

1-4

determination to rise above the rest and attain the rank of Eagle Scout. Carl Lebovitz is just such

Stag Leadership Training; and

1-14

     WHEREAS, Carl’s Eagle Service Project was to take on the challenge of working with

1-15

the Audubon Society of Rhode Island to produce trail signs for two of its properties. The project

1-16

required him to coordinate efforts between the sign manufacturer and the Audubon Society

1-17

Representative to have paper trail maps translated into freestanding signs. Carl then assembled

1-18

and installed the signs on site with the help of other scouts and friends. Carl and fellow scouts

1-19

devoted countless hours and an amazing amount of energy carrying out this project; and

1-20

     WHEREAS, Currently a senior at East Greenwich High School, Carl participates in all

1-21

aspects of school life. His activities include playing football, for which he was elected as co-

2-2

particularly studying abroad; and

2-3

2-4

2-5

proven himself to be worthy of trust and a truly dynamic leader; now therefore be it

2-6

     RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

2-7

hereby honors Carl Lebovitz on attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. Convinced that Carl's

2-8

distinguished career in Scouting will prepare him for a life replete with accomplishments and

2-9

success, the members of the Senate are certain that he will continue to dedicate a large part of that

2-10

life to the service of others; and be it further
