Bill > J00778

This resolution congratulates Michael Chao for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, the most prestigious honor in Scouts BSA, which only approximately five percent of Scouts attain. The resolution highlights Chao's extensive scouting achievements, including leadership roles in his troop, completing three High Adventure Trips (earning the Triple Crown award), and performing a significant community service project at the Buddhadipan Meditation Center, where he repaired and repainted a fence, planted rhododendron bushes, and installed solar-powered lamps. Chao began his scouting journey as a Wolf Scout and has held various leadership positions, including Quartermaster, Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol Leader. The resolution emphasizes his dedication to scouting principles, community service, and personal growth, noting that his achievement demonstrates his ability to master difficult tasks and suggests he will be well-equipped to meet future challenges. The legislative body pauses in its deliberations to officially congratulate and honor Michael Chao, and will transmit a suitably engrossed copy of the resolution to him.
