SR94: SR94 Ferber, David Escott "Scotty"; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes David Escott "Scotty" Ferber, a member of Boy Scouts Troop 3740, for reaching the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America (now Scouts BSA) program. The resolution describes his Eagle Scout project, building lockers to store 288 musical instruments for North Forsyth Middle School's band, a project that took over 1,300 volunteer hours. It also notes he received a Presidential Gold Service Award and was inducted into the Order of the Arrow, a scouting honor society. The Senate formally commends and congratulates him, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to give him a copy of the resolution.
