SPECIAL RESOLUTION ACKNOWLEDGING THE EAGLE SCOUT
Presented to:
ERIC MATTHEW MORRIS
Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout carries special significance.
It is a performance-based award, having standards that have been
well maintained over the years. Only 2.5 percent of all boy
scouts fulfill the requirements needed to achieve this status.
WHEREAS, It is a distinct privilege to extend congratulations
to Eric Matthew Morris as he is presented with the highest honor
bestowed on a Boy Scout, the prestigious Eagle Award. This
achievement signifies qualities that are much admired by his peers
as well as the residents of Saginaw County; and,
WHEREAS, Through his affiliation with Troop 342, Eric has
taken full advantage of the opportunities for personal growth that
have made the Boy Scouts of America one of the most universally
respected organizations in our Country. Like those before him,
Eagle Scout Morris has displayed unselfishness and eagerness to
accept responsibility; and,
WHEREAS, Eric has followed Boy Scout tradition through the
positions he has held with his troop, his participation in civic
activities, and the completion of his Eagle service project which
was to host a blood drive at St. Helen's Catholic School; and,
WHEREAS, The famed Boy Scouts' motto, "Be Prepared,"
appropriately describes Eric in his new role as an Eagle Scout.
He has clearly learned the valuable lessons that scouting strives
to teach, such as working hard, accepting responsibility, showing
concern for others and providing leadership; and,
WHEREAS, Commissioner Thomas A. Basil will represent the
Board at Eric's Court of Honor, scheduled for January 6, 2002, at
1:00 p.m. at St. Helen's Roman Catholic Church. Eric is the son of
Kenneth and Monica Morris of Saginaw Township.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Saginaw County Board
of Commissioners take special pride in acknowledging Eric Matthew
Morris for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. We are all very
proud of this young man, and are very pleased he is a part of this
community. We wish him continued success in the future.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this expression of recognition
be spread upon the minutes of the December 11, 2001 meeting as a
permanent record and duly inscribed upon parchment and presented
to him.
Respectfully submitted,
SAGINAW COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
