Summary

This resolution is a ceremonial measure honoring Ethan P. Lam of Great Neck, New York, for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. It recognizes his membership in Great Neck Scout Troop 10, his years of participation in Scouting, and the completion of a community service project as part of the requirements for the award.
