A RESOLUTION to recognize Peter Singletary on becoming an
Eagle Scout.

of America is one of our finest assets, providing young people with an educational program that
contributes significantly to their character development, citizenship training, and improved
mental and physical fitness; and
WHEREAS, the highest rank a Scout can attain in the Boy Scouts of America Scouts
BSA program is that of Eagle Scout, and Peter Singletary, after considerable effort and diligent
preparation, has joined the prestigious Eagle Court of Honor; and
WHEREAS, his notable record of achievement as a Scout began in the Cub Scouts,
where he earned the Arrow of Light before transitioning to Troop 16; over the course of four
summer camps, he learned how to shoot a rifle and bow, pilot a canoe, swim, fish, and
dismantle a car; and
WHEREAS, for his Eagle project, Peter constructed a covered park bench in the new
Peacock Nature Park in College Grove, an endeavor that required an estimated seventy-seven
hours of volunteer service; his leadership, planning, and management of the significant building
project greatly contributed to the betterment of his community and reflected the true spirit of
volunteerism; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Singletary's service to his community also includes sorting food at
Graceworks, operating cameras at his church, selling tickets at the County Fair, and
entertaining children with his drama club performances; and
