WHEREAS, on August 24, 2006, Jeremy Daniel Black of Boy Scout Troop 94 attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the most distinguished rank conferred by the Boy Scouts of America; and

WHEREAS, a candidate for the most exceptional award in scouting must complete a rigorous program of training and demonstrate his proficiency in selected scouting techniques and attainment of the highest ideals of scouting; and

WHEREAS, only one scout out of 97 ever reaches this lofty level of achievement, and Jeremy Daniel Black has ably demonstrated his aptitude and competency in mastering the various special skills taught through the Boy Scout program; and

WHEREAS, this outstanding young man has truly exhibited a commitment to the scouting principles of honesty and fairness and has consistently conducted himself in a manner becoming an Eagle Scout; and

WHEREAS, Jeremy´s Eagle Scout service project involved reconstructing a floating dock to be used to teach swimming classes during summer camp programs at the Wildlife Action organization; and
