HR1770: HR1770 Jones, Aniston; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring an individual constituent rather than changing any law. It recognizes Aniston Jones, a member of Troop 219, for earning the rank of Eagle Scout, the top rank awarded by Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America, now open to girls through the Scouts BSA program). The resolution describes the rigorous training and leadership required to reach Eagle Scout status and highlights her Eagle project, which beautified the courtyard at Peachtree City Elementary School. It resolves that the House commends her for her diligence and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her to keep.
