HR101: HR101 Sargent, Kolton Teis; commend

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Kolton Teis Sargent, a member of Troop 705 in Monroe, Georgia, for reaching the rank of Eagle Scout. The text describes his path to that rank, including leading a project to preserve a historic spring and build hiking trails at the Union Chapel Church Natural Area, earning 32 merit badges over six years, and attending scouting camps in Georgia, Florida, and New Mexico. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally states that the House commends and congratulates Sargent, and it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
