Summary

This is a Senate resolution honoring Seren Lark of East Williston, New York, for earning the rank of Eagle Scout. The resolution recognizes her as a member and founding member of Scouts BSA Troop 8 G, notes that she completed the requirements for Scouting’s highest rank, and highlights her leadership, perseverance, and commitment to service. It specifically praises her Eagle Scout service project, a conservation and beautification effort at Devlin Field for the Village of East Williston, and references her upcoming Eagle Court of Honor on June 14, 2025. The resolution also commends the broader values associated with Scouting, including character development, leadership, community service, and civic responsibility.

As a ceremonial measure, the resolution directs that an engrossed copy be transmitted to her, but it does not create or amend any substantive law.

Impact

This resolution has no direct legal or regulatory impact and does not amend the New York State Constitution, statutes, or administrative rules.
