distinguished scouting career; and

     WHEREAS, As the highlight of his scouting years, Patrick completed the final step

toward obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout by planning and carrying out an extensive Eagle service

project. He worked with the Cumberland Senior Center to finance, design and landscape the

perimeter of the Center with the assistance of scout volunteers; and

     WHEREAS, Patrick is an exceptional student with a bright future ahead of him. His plans

include attending the University of Montana to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree from the

College of Forestry and Resource Conservation; and

     WHEREAS, It is essential and fitting to recognize the triumphs of our youth, and to

celebrate the accomplishments of our future leaders. Patrick J. Regan is a remarkable young man

who exemplifies everything an Eagle Scout should be, and all that we hope our children will

grow to be; now, therefore be it

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and

Providence Plantations hereby honors Patrick J. Regan for his untiring service to the community

and for setting a high standard of commitment and dedication by which the youth of this great

state may follow. We congratulate Patrick for all he has done to attain the rank of Eagle Scout,
