HR1645: HR1645 Sandberg, Jonathan; commend
Last action March 6, 2026 · House Read and Adopted
A Georgia House resolution commends Jonathan Sandberg of the 46th District area 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 Jonathan Sandberg for reaching the rank of Eagle Scout, a rank the resolution says only about one in 97 scouts ever attains. The resolution describes his Eagle Scout project, which involved beautifying the nature trail at Kennesaw First Baptist Church by adding a bench, a picnic table, fresh mulch, borders, and flowering plants. It formally commends him for his diligence and congratulates him on the achievement, and it directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
