     Introduced By: Representatives Guthrie, Chippendale, Nunes, Casey, and Bennett

     Date Introduced: June 05, 2014

     Referred To: House read and passed

     WHEREAS, Scouting is a movement that challenges, inspires, and guides young men

toward higher achievements and values as expressed in the Scout oath, law, motto, and slogan;

and

     WHEREAS, Earning an Eagle Scout Badge is the pinnacle of achievement with the Boy

Scouts of America and is an exceptional distinction achieved by very few of the young men who

enter scouting; and

     WHEREAS, Daniel Garner, Daniel Koyuth and Jacob Starble, all members of Troop One

Coventry, each earned numerous merit badges and completed the final step toward obtaining the

Rank of Eagle Scout by planning and carrying out extensive Eagle service projects. They are

remarkable young men worthy of this prestigious achievement and their accomplishments are

truly deserving of our recognition; and

     WHEREAS, Daniel Garner′s Eagle project involved cleaning up the Greenhouse at

Coventry High School and building new potting benches which made the space more organized

and easier to use; and

     WHEREAS, Daniel Koyuth′s Eagle project involved clearing debris, trees, and an overall

general clean-up of the grounds of St. Vincent de Paul Church along with cleaning the windows

and bricks of the school adjacent to the church. This detailed project provided additional outdoor

space for the church and school; and

     WHEREAS, Jacob Starble′s Eagle Project involved clearing an abandoned farm road and

turning it into a usable hiking path for the Nature Conservancy in West Greenwich, Rhode Island,

thereby enabling the Conservancy to open additional hiking paths to the public; and

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

celebrate the accomplishments of our future leaders. Daniel Garner, Daniel Koyuth, and Jacob

Starble exemplify 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 congratulates Daniel Garner, Daniel Koyuth, and Jacob Starble for

all they have done to attain the rank of Eagle Scout. We furthermore extend our deepest

appreciation for their 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 moreover wish them much

happiness and the best of times at their Eagle Court of Honor on June 5, 2014; and be it further

     RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to

transmit duly certified copies of this resolution to Daniel Garner, Daniel Koyuth, and Jacob

Starble.
