9	9	A house RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR JACKSON THOMAS BENTON OF BERKELEY COUNTY FOR HIS NOTEWORTHY ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM UPON ACHIEVING THE PRESTIGIOUS RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT, THE HIGHEST AWARD IN SCOUTING. Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Jackson Thomas Benton of Troop 743 of the Coastal Carolina Council has successfully completed the requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout; and Whereas, to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, a Boy Scout must demonstrate that he lives by the principles of the Scout Oath and Law in his daily life; he must plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or his community; and he must earn a total of twenty-one merit badges, actively serve in a position of responsibility within his troop for six months, take part in a Scoutmaster conference, and successfully complete an Eagle Scout board of review; and Whereas, only about five percent of Boy Scouts complete these rigorous requirements to achieve the coveted rank of Eagle Scout; and Whereas, in the early 1900s throughout the British Empire, the Scout Movement began to form troops as a result of reading Lord Robert Baden-Powell's "Aids to Scouting," written to train soldiers. In 1910, at the age of fifty-three, Lord Baden-Powell retired from a highly successful career as a scout in the British army to give his attention to this work; and Whereas, as an outgrowth of the Scout Movement in England and with the endorsement of the Chief Scout of the World, Lord Baden-Powell, the Boy Scouts of America was formed in 1910, and for over a century it has shaped future leaders of America by combining educational activities with lifelong values and fun; and Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the legacy of Scouting in America and take great pride in acknowledging the accomplishments of young South Carolinians like Jackson Benton who selflessly give of their time, talents, and energy to enrich their local communities and our State. Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the House of Representatives: That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Jackson Thomas Benton of Berkeley County for his noteworthy achievements in the Boy Scouts of America and congratulate him upon achieving the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout, the highest award in Scouting. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Jackson Thomas Benton. ----XX----
