Congratulating Jeffrey Tham upon the occasion of receiving the distinguished rank of Eagle Scout, the most prestigious of Scouting honors, on Saturday, June 20, 2026

Summary

Senate Resolution No. 1792 is a ceremonial measure honoring Jeffrey Tham of Great Neck Scout Troop 10 on the occasion of earning the rank of Eagle Scout. The resolution recites his years of participation in Scouting, completion of a community service project, and commitment to the ideals of character, leadership, and service associated with Scouting America. It also notes that his Eagle Court of Honor is scheduled for June 20, 2026, at Leonard’s Palazzo in Great Neck, New York. The resolution formally congratulates and recognizes Tham’s achievement as one of the highest honors in Scouting and praises him as a credit to his family, school, community, state, and nation. It directs that an engrossed copy of the resolution be transmitted to him as an official expression of legislative commendation.

Impact

This resolution does not amend, create, or repeal any state law and has no regulatory or fiscal effect. Its impact is purely symbolic: it places the Legislature’s recognition into the official record and publicly honors an individual citizen for a personal achievement and community service.

Sentiment

The sentiment surrounding the resolution is wholly positive and celebratory. The bill language emphasizes admiration for youth leadership, perseverance, service, and civic character, and there is no indication of opposition or controversy in the available record. No committee discussion or vote history is provided, but the text itself reflects unanimous commendation in tone.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the bill text or available context. Because this is a nonbinding congratulatory resolution, it does not appear to raise policy disagreements, partisan issues, or stakeholder conflicts. The measure is focused entirely on recognition of an individual Eagle Scout achievement.
