WHEREAS,
Jonathan Robert Wentworth of Boy Scout Troop 149 of Athens, Georgia, has
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

only one scout out of 97 ever reaches this lofty level of achievement, and
Jonathan Robert Wentworth has ably demonstrated his aptitude and competency in
mastering the various special skills taught through the Boy Scout program;
and
WHEREAS,
as a scout, he has served in almost every possible leadership position having
been Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, Troop Guide,
and Instructor; and
WHEREAS,
he was selected by his peers to be a member of the Order of the Arrow, a
scouting society made up of those scouts who exemplify the very best of
scouting; 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

recognize with particularity the outstanding accomplishments of this
extraordinary individual.
