LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION congratulating Zachary Ryan Sacher upon the occa-
sion of receiving the distinguished rank of Eagle Scout, the most pres-
tigious of Scouting honors, on March 12, 2011
WHEREAS, Zachary Ryan Sacher, through his diligence and rigorous
efforts, has achieved Scouting's highest and most prestigious rank,
Eagle Scout; the Eagle Court of Honor ceremony will be held on Saturday,
March 12, 2011, at the American Legion Griswold-Terry-Glover Post 803,
in Southold, New York; and
WHEREAS, Zachary Ryan Sacher is a member of Boy Scouts of America
Southold Troop 6; and
WHEREAS, America has achieved her greatest heights of glory through
the dedication, determination and tireless efforts of the outstanding
citizens of this Nation; and
WHEREAS, It is only with the continued diligence and devotion of our
youth, tomorrow's leaders, that America will maintain her glory; and
WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America and its members are dedicated to
the development of character and leadership in the youth of this Nation;
and
WHEREAS, The highest achievement of leadership in Scouting, earned by
only five percent of all Boy Scouts, is the distinguished rank of Eagle
Scout; and
WHEREAS, This outstanding young man has been involved in Scouting for
many years, has lived up to Scouting's ideals and has attained all of
the necessary achievements, including completion of a community service
project, which was successfully planned, developed and executed; and
WHEREAS, For his project, Zachary Ryan Sacher planned and coordinated
the creation of the Tall Pines Preserve nature trail near Paradise Point
in Southold; in cooperation with the Town of Southold, he supervised the
removal of over two tons of garbage from the area, which consisted of
both small pieces of trash and industrial solid waste; the preexisting
path was groomed into a safe trail by removing overgrowth and
obstructions on the path; since the Tall Pines Preserve is frequently
used for exercise and leisure, four benches were built to allow visitors
to relax along the trail and enjoy the beautiful scenic nature; and
WHEREAS, Zachary Ryan Sacher'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 lead-
er, 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
recognition of the significance of this meritorious achievement, to
congratulate and honor Zachary Ryan Sacher on achieving the rank of
Eagle Scout; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Zachary Ryan Sacher, Southold, New York.
