program that contributes significantly to their character development, citizenship training, and 
improved mental and physical fitness; and 
 WHEREAS, the highest rank a Scout can attain in the Boy Scouts of America Scouts 
BSA program is that of Eagle Scout, and James Howard Thomas, after considerable effort and 
diligent preparation, has joined the prestigious Eagle Court of Honor; and

includes numerous merit badges and distinguished service as a leader among his peers; and
