WHEREAS, we have been apprised that on August 21, 2010, the rank of Eagle Scout will be awarded to Nicholas Busch Hartzler; and
WHEREAS, Nick is 17 and will be a senior at St. Louis University High School. In addition to his scouting activities, Nick played ice hockey for two years and lacrosse for three years at SLUH. He is a President's Ambassador, has been active in Student Council and the Community Service Program, as well as a member of the Student Advisory Council. Due to his leadership skills, he was chosen to be a Freshman Advisor for the upcoming academic year; and
WHEREAS, Nick plays trumpet and is a member of the SLUH Symphonic Band and the Advanced Jazz Band. He also enjoys playing trumpet at his parish, St. Stephen Protomartyr, for masses and prayer services; and
WHEREAS, Nick is very involved with the Greater St. Louis Area Boy Scouts. He is a member of St. Stephen's Troop 104, and completed his Eagle Award last December. His Eagle Project included building and installing a bench in front of Sts. Mary and Joseph Chapel. This past year he was elected Recording Secretary for the Shawnee Lodge branch of scouts; and
WHEREAS, in addition to his involvement in multiple service projects, he is an Elangomat and camp promoter. He served as Youth Director this summer at the Boy Scout National Youth Leadership Training Camp (NYLT) held at S-F Scout Ranch. He was a staff member at this camp for the previous five summers; and
WHEREAS, Nick received the Vigil Honor of the Order of the Arrow in recognition of distinguished contributions to scouting. This honor is awarded because of exceptional service, personal commitment and unselfish interest in the welfare of others, beyond immediate responsibilities in the Order of the Arrow, the service branch of scouting; and
WHEREAS, in general, Nick's interests and activities are varied. He is currently trying to make college/career decisions with interests in business/finance or engineering; and
WHEREAS, those who are familiar with Scouting are aware that the rank of Eagle Scout is a goal sought by many, but attained by few; requiring intelligence, perseverance and a strong sense of service to your community; and
WHEREAS, Nick is a role model to all of the younger scouts and will be honored by them, along with his family and many friends at St Stephen Protomartyr Parish Hall, 3929 Wilmington St. Louis, Missouri.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Aldermen of the City of St. Louis that we pause in our deliberations to congratulate Nicholas Busch Hartzler on the occasion of his rank of Eagle Scout and we wish him continued success and achievement and we further direct the Clerk of this Board to spread a copy of this Resolution across the minutes of these proceedings and to prepare a commemorative copy to the end that it may be presented to our honoree at a time and place deemed appropriate by the Sponsor.
