TO CONGRATULATE HUNTER MCBEE SMITH OF SPARTANBURG 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, recently, Hunter McBee Smith of the Palmetto Council's Troop 2, sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Spartanburg, successfully passed his Eagle Scout Board of Review and thus completed the requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout; and
Whereas, the son of Roy McBee Smith and Bea Smith, this Spartanburg High School student has been a member of several of his school's athletic teams, including cross country, wrestling (JV), and lacrosse (JV); and
Whereas, Hunter officially will receive the rank of Eagle Scout on Sunday, August 25, 2019; and
Whereas, for his Eagle project, Hunter built two toy boxes and a birdhouse for the Children's Advocacy Center of Spartanburg. He also donated several wooden toys built by the other Troop 2 Boy Scouts; 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 Hunter McBee Smith 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 Hunter McBee Smith of Spartanburg 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 Hunter McBee Smith.
