Commends and congratulates Boy Scout Troop 1 in Jackson, Mississippi, on its 100-year anniversary, chartered in April 1916 by St. Andrew's Episcopal Church.

Recognizes the troop's contributions to youth development through camping, hiking, and instruction in core scouting values, with thousands of Jackson-area boys having participated over the century.

Notes that Troop 1 has produced approximately 250 Eagle Scouts (4% of scouts nationally) who have become leaders in their communities, state, and nation.

Highlights current troop achievements including over 100 active scouts, 20 adult leaders, 782 combined camping nights, 1,550 miles hiked, and 421 hours of community service.

Directs that the resolution be presented to Troop 1 Scoutmaster William G. Cheney, Jr., and forwarded to the Andrew Jackson Council of Boy Scouts of America.
