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. |
