Congratulates 10 Eagle Scouts from the 2011-2012 Senior Class at Jackson Preparatory School: Thomas Dunbar, Cole McPherson, Thompson Moore, Nelson Parker, Austin Pinkerton, John-David Polk, Pratt Rogers, Ross Taylor, Jay Vise, and Zac Zachow.

Commends the scouting tradition at Jackson Preparatory School, noting that achieving Eagle Scout rank requires earning 22 merit badges including mandatory badges in citizenship, camping, lifesaving, and other areas.

Directs that the resolution be presented to the 10 Eagle Scouts and their families, troop scoutmasters, and the Jackson Preparatory School Headmaster, and made available to the Capitol Press Corps.
