HR106: HR106 Trail Life USA; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Trail Life USA, a faith based youth organization that partners with churches to offer outdoor adventure programs focused on character and leadership for boys and young men. The resolution describes the group's mission, motto, oath, and its Freedom Award recognition program, and notes it has over 35,869 members and 1,133 troops nationally, including 2,271 members and 57 troops in Georgia. The resolution does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose any requirements. It simply states that the House recognizes and commends Trail Life USA for its efforts with youth in Georgia and the United States, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the organization.

• Formally states that the House of Representatives recognizes and commends Trail Life USA for its work with youth.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to Trail Life USA.
