TO CONGRATULATE RICHARD PAYSON DANA ON RECEIVING THE PRESTIGIOUS EAGLE SCOUT BADGE IN AUGUST OF 2003, TO COMMEND HIM FOR HIS HARD WORK, PERSEVERANCE, AND MANY ACHIEVEMENTS WHILE EARNING THE HIGHEST AWARD IN SCOUTING, AND TO WISH HIM EVERY SUCCESS IN ALL OF HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout requires hard work and extreme determination, and the achievement is a great honor for those who attain it; and

Whereas, in August of 2003, Richard Payson Dana and his triplet brothers, Robert Brenton Dana and James Radisson Dana, were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout by the Boy Scouts of America, becoming the first set of triplets to receive their Eagle Scout Awards at the same time; and

Whereas, the son of Dwight and Paula Dana, Payson is an excellent example of living the Scout Oath and Law and is a role model in his community; and

Whereas, to attain the rank of Eagle Scout, each Scout must organize a service project in his community. Payson cleaned up an historic cemetery in Darlington County; and

Whereas, Payson has been involved in Scouting since the third grade and has also received the Order of the Arrow; and

Whereas, Payson has completed his freshman year at Florence/Darlington Technical College and has been accepted to attend The Citadel; and

Whereas, the General Assembly is pleased to congratulate Payson Dana for all the hard work and dedication he put forth to earn the highest award in scouting, and the Palmetto State is proud to call him one of its own. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, congratulate Richard Payson Dana on receiving the prestigious Eagle Scout Badge in August of 2003, commend him for his hard work, perseverance, and many achievements while earning the highest award in scouting, and wish him every success in all of his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Richard Payson Dana.
