  WHEREAS,   Patrick  Stanton,  through  his  diligence  and  rigorous

  WHEREAS,  Boy Scouts of America and its members are dedicated to the

two kiosks to hold a  map  illustrating  the  full  route  of  the  Jack
Harrington  Greenway, one at the new Northern Terminus at Bryant Avenue,
and a second at the traditional  main  entrance  at  Gedney  Way;  after
designing the kiosks using a Computer Assisted Design program, he worked

collaborating with members of the White Plains High School National Arts

of his community is represented through his project and demonstrates his
devotion to both community and commitment to others; and

  WHEREAS,  As he goes forward in his academic career, Patrick Stanton
plans to continue the ideals and principles of the Boy Scouts; and

  WHEREAS, Patrick Stanton'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
