DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Supervisor Spering requests that the Board adopt a resolution recognizing Gary Laski, Jr., a member of Boy Scout Troop 853 in Fairfield, California, on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
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, a scout must have demonstrated leadership, good citizenship, and responsibility. Gary Laski has been in scouting for over 9 years. As a Boy Scout, he was recommended for and earned a National Youth Leadership Training Certification, an outdoor program designed to provide youth with leadership skills they can use in situations demanding leadership of self and others. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout on April 3, 2017 by leading a project to build and paint tables and a bookshelf used for museum displays and materials for the Jimmy Doolittle Center in Vacaville.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with this resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to adopt this resolution. This is not recommended because it is in keeping with the Board of Supervisors practice to recognize outstanding achievements by members of the public.
