        Eagle Scout, the most prestigious of Scouting honors

  WHEREAS,  Sebastian  Alexander  Mastin,  through  his  diligence and

the dedication, determination and tireless efforts  of  the  outstanding
citizens of this Nation; and

  WHEREAS, It is only with the continued diligence and devotion of our
youth, tomorrow's leaders, that America will maintain her glory; and

  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
by  approximately  five  percent of all Boy Scouts, is the distinguished
rank of 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, Sebastian A. Mastin constructed several
easy to assemble and disassemble picnic tables based on  a  design  from
his  grandfather;  he  then  donated  the tables to both the Sally Ploof
Library in Black River, New York, and the New Day Children's  Center  in
Watertown, New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Sebastian  A.  Mastin'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
recognition of the significance  of  this  meritorious  achievement,  to
congratulate  and  honor  Sebastian  A.  Mastin on achieving the rank of
Eagle Scout; and be it further
