DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Chair Vasquez requests that the Board adopt a resolution recognizing Georges Roumas, member of Boy Scout Troop 265 in Vacaville, California, on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
SUMMARY:
The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest award a member of the Boy Scouts of America can receive and represents many years of hard work and dedication. To become an Eagle Scout, one has demonstrated leadership, citizenship, and responsibility. A senior at Vacaville High School, Georges earned his Eagle Scout rank by completing extensive work on the grounds of the Caligiuiri Ranch in rural north Vacaville. The project, which required Georges to coordinate fundraising and the organization of volunteers, took several years to complete. More than 260 hours of volunteer labor were recorded, giving Georges the opportunity to learn valuable leadership skills.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to adopt this resolution. This is not recommended because this is an opportunity to recognize Georges Roumas on achieving the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
