R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Parker Ritchey of Scouts BSA Troop No. 279 in El
  Paso has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this accomplishment
  truly merits special recognition; and
         WHEREAS, The Eagle Scout badge is a significant honor
  bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the scouting
  movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding criteria,
  Mr. Ritchey earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully
  completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which
  involved providing Thanksgiving meals to local residents; and
         WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding
  leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the
  respect and admiration of his fellow troop members as he worked
  toward the highest rank that the organization offers; and
         WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Ritchey's dedication to excellence and
  his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him worthy
  to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect with
  pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Parker Ritchey 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. Ritchey as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
