SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 38

COMMENDING THE 1999 EAGLE SCOUTS FOR HAVING ATTAINED THE HIGHEST RANK ONE CAN EARN IN THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

WHEREAS, only two percent of the young men who join the Boy Scouts become Eagle Scouts; and

WHEREAS, to earn this distinct honor, a young man must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills, as well as advance through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second Class, Star, and Life;

WHEREAS, to qualify for Eagle Scout, a young man must earn twenty-one merit badges, including First Aid, Camping, Safety, Family Life, Communications, Environmental Science, Personal Management, Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, and Citizenship in the World; and

WHEREAS, we recognize that when a young man becomes an Eagle Scout, the achievement carries with it a special significance, not only in Scouting, but also as he enters higher education, business or industry, and community service; and

WHEREAS, in 1969, the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award was established to acknowledge Eagle Scouts who have excelled in business, a profession, or service to their country. Men such as The Honorable Lamar Alexander, The Honorable William Bradley, The Honorable Gerald Ford, The Honorable Sam Nunn, Neil Armstrong, Captain James Lovell, Harrison Salisbury and Steven Spielberg serve as role models for these new Eagle Scouts; and
