The DeKalb County Commission Monday night adopted a resolution honoring Eagle Scout Thomas Claston Beltz.
In reading his accomplishments, County Mayor Mike Foster said that Beltz is the son of Charles and Connie Beltz. “He earned his Eagle rank through the Boys Scouts on January 2, 2012. His project was landscaping the area in front of the outside eating spot beside the principal’s office at DCHS. He is an active member of FFA and will be graduating from DCHS in May. Beltz plays on the varsity soccer team. He has also joined the Marine Corps and he will be leaving for the marines in mid August,” said Foster.
The resolution states “Whereas, the DeKalb County Commission and the DeKalb County Mayor wish to express their pride, respect, and appreciation to members of our community who so capably fulfill requirements and duties to reach lofty goals and levels of achievement.”
“Whereas, Thomas Beltz has broad and diverse achievements. He has distinguished himself as a student, an athlete, and a community leader. We wish to bestow our honor tonight for all those goals, but especially for the years with the Boy Scouts.”
“Whereas, only a select few Boy Scouts earn the Eagle Award. This award is a pinnacle sought by many and earned by few.”
“Whereas, the DeKalb County Commission and the DeKalb County Mayor wish to thank Thomas Beltz, his family, and other scouts who helped him and his leaders for the honors they have brought to themselves and DeKalb County.”
“Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the DeKalb County Commission that January 23, 2012 be officially named Eagle Scout Thomas Claston Beltz Day”
