        2023

  WHEREAS,  Isaiah Coombs, through his diligence and rigorous efforts,
has achieved Scouting's highest and most prestigious rank, Eagle  Scout;
the  Eagle  Court  of Honor ceremony will be held on Sunday, January 22,
2023, at American Legion Post No. 854 in Valley Stream, New York; and

  WHEREAS, Involved with the Boy Scouts of America since  he  was  six
years  old,  Isaiah  Coombs  was  a part of Cub Scouts Pack 109 where he

  WHEREAS, New York has achieved her greatest heights of glory through
the dedication, determination and tireless efforts  of  the  outstanding
citizens of this state; and

  WHEREAS, It is only with the continued diligence and devotion of our
youth,  tomorrow's leaders, that New York State will maintain its 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 person 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,  In  2021,  Isaiah  Coombs  refurbished the Andrew Fatscher
memorial monument outside American Legion Post No.  854;  he  reset  the
bricks  in the memorial at an angle so that visitors can better read the

managed  the  project from start to finish - organizing a fundraiser and
working with contractors to ensure that the work was completed,  and  to
the highest standard; and

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 Isaiah Coombs on  achieving  the  rank  of  Eagle
Scout; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
