A Georgia House resolution formally commends Grant Penner for earning the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in Scouting America.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Grant Penner for reaching the rank of Eagle Scout, the top rank in the Scouts BSA program run by Scouting America. The resolution describes Grant's Eagle Scout project, building four reusable hardwood A-frame signs for Bub's Run, a nonprofit 5K race that raises money for youth health groups. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare an official copy of the resolution for Grant Penner as a keepsake recognizing his achievement.
