VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO CONGRATULATE ZACHARY E. GODBY OF RICHLAND COUNTY FOR HIS REMARKABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA AND TO SALUTE HIM UPON ACHIEVING THE CELEBRATED RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT, THE HIGHEST AWARD IN SCOUTING.
Whereas, Zachary E. Godby of Troop 100 of the Indian Waters Council successfully passed his Eagle Scout Board of Review and thus completed the requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout; and
Whereas, he began his journey to Eagle in 2008 as a Tiger Cub. Through many years of meetings, Pinewood derbies, campouts, and community service projects, Zack has earned the highest award in scouting; and
Whereas, in working toward becoming an Eagle Scout, Zack has earned numerous merit badges and has been named to the Order of the Arrow, Brotherhood Member (Scouting's national honor society). He has served his troop, sponsored by St. Joseph Catholic Church of Columbia, as Troop Guide, Den Chief, Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, and Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, and was awarded the National Outdoor Award in Camping and BSA awards in the Mile Swim and World Conservation. Zack also attended the National Jamboree in 2017 (the largest BSA event) and the National Order of the Arrow Conference (the second largest BSA event); and
Whereas, his Eagle project was completed on June 8, 2018, at the American Legion Post 6. Zack led a group of his fellow scouts and volunteers in clearing, framing, and prepping for a concrete pad to be used for an outside extension; and
Whereas, Zack officially received the rank of Eagle Scout with three palms on October 18, 2018; 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 complete his Eagle Scout Board of Review; and
Whereas, only about five percent of Boy Scouts complete these rigorous requirements to achieve the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout; and
Whereas, the House is grateful for the legacy of Scouting in America and takes great pride in acknowledging the achievements of young South Carolinians like Zachary Godby 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, congratulate Zachary E. Godby of Richland County for his remarkable accomplishments in the Boy Scouts of America and salute him upon achieving the celebrated rank of Eagle Scout, the highest award in Scouting.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Zack Godby.
