  WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America and its members are dedicated  to
the development of character and leadership in the youth of this Nation;
and

  WHEREAS,  The  highest achievement of leadership in Scouting, earned

Eagle Scout; and

  WHEREAS,  This  outstanding  young man has been involved in Scouting
for many years, has lived up to Scouting's ideals and has  attained  all
of  the  necessary  achievements,  including  completion  of a community
service project, which was successfully planned, developed and executed;
and

  WHEREAS,  For  his  project,  John  Michael  Judge  refurbished   an
overgrown  prayer garden located at St. Patrick's Church in Southold; he
designed, constructed and installed two resin  benches,  supervised  the
trimming  of existing bushes, and removed all dead brush, replacing them
with drought resistant plants throughout the garden; and

  WHEREAS,  Furthermore,  to  make  the  garden   more   inviting   to
parishioners  a  trellis was built and installed, mulch was added to the
area, and four statues were placed around the garden,  adding  a  serene
place  for  the  community  to  gather  for spiritual guidance and quiet
reflection; and

  WHEREAS, His dedication to the safety and well-being of the citizens
of Southold is represented through  his  project  and  demonstrates  his
devotion to both community and commitment to others; and

  WHEREAS,  John  Michael  Judge's  perseverance in rising through the
ranks to Eagle Scout is a strong indication of  his  ability  to  master

difficult  tasks;  his  accomplishment  will  enable  him to emerge as a
leader, fully  equipped  to  meet  the  challenges  of  today's  complex
society; and

  WHEREAS, This new Eagle Scout is a credit to his family, his school,
his community, his State and his Nation, and no doubt his future will be
filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations, in
