VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO CONGRATULATE DEREK ALLAN COTHRAN, OF LEXINGTON COUNTY, FOR ACHIEVING THE ELITE RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT, AND TO WISH HIM EVERY SUCCESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, it is with great pride that the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina recognize the laudable achievements of young people, and among those youthful accomplishments that command the greatest respect is the attaining of the rank of Eagle Scout; and
Whereas, having completed his requirements in December 2007 and proved himself worthy, Derek Allan Cothran, of Lexington County, has been named an Eagle Scout, an award granted to only about five percent of all Boy Scouts; and
Whereas, Derek, the son of Allan and Connie Cothran, was born February 3, 1993, and is a member of Mount Hebron United Methodist Church and Boy Scout Troop 331; and
Whereas, for his Eagle Scout service project, Derek assisted the God's Helping Hands organization. He created a "box city" to help local youth learn about the challenges homeless people face, organized a food drive for community awareness of hunger and homelessness, painted the organization's kitchen and updated its flower bed, and delivered food baskets to the needy; and
Whereas, in attaining this coveted distinction, Derek joins the ranks of astronauts, movie and sports celebrities, Nobel Prize winners, business and military leaders, senators, and congressmen. He may be justly proud of his accomplishment. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, congratulate Derek Allan Cothran, of Lexington County, for achieving the elite rank of Eagle Scout, and wish him every success in all his future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Derek Allan Cothran.
