Bethesda Academy in Chatham County, Savannah, Georgia; and

commitment to the scouting principles of honesty, fairness and integrity and he has
consistently conducted himself in a manner becoming an Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, Ja'Karil serves as a Junior Usher and aspiring Deacon at First African Baptist
Church of East Savannah, and he is a member of the Junior Varsity Basketball team at
Bethesda Academy; and

with high moral standards that make Ja'Karil an example for all Georgians, and great success
is surely in this young man's future.
