BY: M. of A. Burdick

        CONGRATULATING  Andrew  Lucassen upon the occasion
        of receiving the distinguished rank of Eagle  Scout,
        the most prestigious of Scouting honors

  WHEREAS,   Andrew  Lucassen,  through  his  diligence  and  rigorous
efforts, has achieved Scouting's  highest  and  most  prestigious  rank,
Eagle Scout; and

  WHEREAS,  Andrew Lucassen is a member of Boy Scouts of America Troop
1 Lewisboro in South Salem, New York; and

  WHEREAS, America has achieved her greatest heights of glory  through
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,  Andrew  Lucassen  helped  to   improve
accessibility  to the Nature Conservancy's Mt. Holly Preserve's entrance
and trailhead in Katonah, New York; the Mt. Holly  entrance  was  poorly
identified  and  the  trailhead needed maintenance; Andrew created a new
kiosk at the entrance, removed barberry and non-native species along the
trail, built resting benches and repaired a stone wall; and

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

  WHEREAS, Andrew Lucassen'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 Andrew Lucassen on achieving the  rank  of  Eagle
Scout; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Andrew Lucassen.
