A senate RESOLUTION

to recognize and honor Eagle Scouts Willie Rudolph 
Townes III, Derwyn Ikeem Brailey, Khamari Dajon Cleckley, Sean Antonio Nimmons, 
and Melvin Edward Hart Jr. upon their induction as Eagle Scouts, to commend 
Scouting America Troops 500 and 190 for their historic accomplishment, and to express 
sincere gratitude to Scoutmasters Ron Mosley and Ernest E. Nimmons for their 
exemplary leadership and service.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Senate is pleased to recognize exceptional young citizens who 
demonstrate leadership, character, and a sustained commitment to community 
service; and

Whereas, Scouting 
America's rank of Eagle Scout is the highest distinction in scouting and is 
earned by only a small percentage of scouts who complete rigorous requirements 
in leadership, service, outdoor skills, and civic responsibility; and

Whereas, on Saturday, 
February 7, 2026, during an Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony held at Trinity 
United Methodist Church in Orangeburg, five members of Scouting America Troops 
500 and 190 were inducted as Eagle Scouts; and

Whereas, the distinguished 
honorees are Eagle Scouts Willie Rudolph Townes III of Troop 190, Derwyn Ikeem 
Brailey of Troop 500, Khamari Dajon Cleckley of Troop 500, Sean Antonio Nimmons 
of Troop 500, and Melvin Edward Hart Jr. of Troop 500; and

Whereas, their joint 
induction represents a historic milestone for South Carolina, marking the 
largest group of African American Eagle Scouts inducted together, and stands as 
a powerful and fitting achievement recognized during Black History Month; and

Whereas, as Black 
History Month celebrates past trailblazers, these five Eagle Scouts are 
building a living legacy of service, excellence, and leadership for the next 
generation of South Carolinians; and

Whereas, this 
achievement reflects not only the individual determination of these scouts but 
also the steadfast mentorship and guidance of Scoutmasters Ron Mosley and Ernest 
E. Nimmons, whose leadership and dedication have helped shape these young men 
into leaders of character and purpose; and

Whereas, the Senate 
further recognizes Scouting America Troops 500 and 190, the families of the scouts, 
and their faith and community partners for providing the encouragement and 
support necessary to reach this extraordinary accomplishment; and

Whereas, it is proper 
and fitting for the members of the South Carolina Senate to honor these 
outstanding young men and those who helped guide them to this high 
achievement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
recognize and honor Eagle Scouts Willie Rudolph Townes III, Derwyn Ikeem 
Brailey, Khamari Dajon Cleckley, Sean Antonio Nimmons, and Melvin Edward Hart 
Jr. upon their induction as Eagle Scouts, commend Scouting America Troops 500 
and 190 for their historic accomplishment, and express sincere gratitude to 
Scoutmasters Ron Mosley and Ernest E. Nimmons for their exemplary leadership 
and service.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Eagle Scouts Willie Rudolph 
Townes III, Derwyn Ikeem Brailey, Khamari Dajon Cleckley, Sean Antonio Nimmons, 
and Melvin Edward Hart Jr. and Scoutmasters Ron Mosley and Ernest E. Nimmons.
