This resolution congratulates Benjamin D. Gorman on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, the most prestigious honor in Scouting, which is earned by only approximately 5% of Scouts. The resolution highlights Gorman's significant achievements, including organizing and constructing an accessibility ramp at a local senior center as his community service project, being elected to the Order of the Arrow, attending notable Scout camps like Philmont Scout Ranch and Atchafalaya Swamp Base, and serving as a Junior Assistant Scout Master. It also recognizes his future academic plans to attend Hudson Valley Community College and eventually transfer to SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry with the goal of becoming a New York State Forest Ranger. The resolution praises Gorman's leadership skills, dedication to community service, and commitment to upholding Scouting principles, ultimately commending him as a credit to his family, school, community, state, and nation. The legislative body resolves to officially recognize and honor Gorman's accomplishment, and will transmit a copy of the resolution to him.
