WHEREAS, Scouts BSA helps young men and women build |
|
|
character, become responsible citizens, and develop their |
|
|
abilities in a wide range of pursuits, and those scouts who advance |
|
|
through the program to its highest rank are rewarded with the Eagle |
|
|
Scout insignia; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Only about six percent of all Scouts earn the title |
|
|
of Eagle Scout, and Trevor Douglas Veron of Lumberton may now count |
|
|
himself in that select group; in order to obtain this notable honor, |
|
|
specific requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and |
|
|
outdoor skills must be met; Eagle Scouts need to earn at least 21 |
|
|
merit badges, including those in first aid, camping, personal |
|
|
fitness, environmental science, and citizenship; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, An Eagle Scout must also serve as a leader both in |
|
|
his troop and in the completion of a project that is beneficial to a |
|
|
school, religious institution, or community; for his project, |
|
|
Mr. Veron worked with the city to install six benches throughout |
|
|
Lumberton; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Many Eagle Scouts go on to further distinguish |
|
|
themselves in such fields as business, science, politics, and the |
|
|
arts; among those accomplished individuals who have achieved Eagle |
|
|
Scout status are astronaut Neil Armstrong, President Gerald Ford, |
|
|
jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, film director Steven Spielberg, and |
|
|
entrepreneur Sam Walton; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Eagle Scout program fosters self-reliance, |
|
|
initiative, and resourcefulness, and those same qualities that |
|
|
enable a scout to attain this prestigious rank will be invaluable |
|
|
assets to Trevor Veron on the road ahead; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Trevor Douglas Veron on achieving |
|
|
the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for |
|
|
continued success and happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Veron as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
