WHEREAS, Kenneth has earned the highest rank in scouting—a rank that is achieved by only a small percentage of scouts, the Eagle Scout rank is achieved through hard work and outstanding performance over the years as a scout progresses through the ranks; and

WHEREAS, as Kenneth demonstrated his outdoor and leadership skills it became clear that he was Eagle Scout caliber, whether he was earning merit badges or participating in troop activities, Kenneth was able to improve his own personal skills while at the same time being helpful to fellow members of Haslett Boy Scout Troop 97; and

WHEREAS, Kenneth’s attitudes and skills enabled him to advance to the rank of Eagle Scout, through his Eagle Project--the construction of a meditation garden at a community church--Kenneth took a leadership role to develop a concept, lay out the work plan, and direct a team of fellow scouts to carry out the job resulting in an outdoor respite area that will be enjoyed by visitors to the church, offering a haven for reflection and meditation.
