Congratulating Ian Cheng upon the occasion of receiving the distinguished rank of Eagle Scout, the most prestigious of Scouting honors

Summary

This resolution is a ceremonial measure honoring Ian Cheng of Mineola, New York, for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. It recognizes Eagle Scout as Scouting’s highest honor and notes that Cheng earned it through years of participation in Boy Scouts of America Troop 45, completion of required achievements, and a community service project. The resolution highlights Cheng’s service project at the First Presbyterian Church, where he renovated an existing storage room by clearing out unnecessary items and installing insulation and sheetrock to create a finished space. It also references his educational background, including his graduation from Chaminade High School in 2024 and his plans to attend Stony Brook University and later dental school to become an orthodontist. The measure concludes by formally congratulating and honoring him and directing that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to him.
