SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 640

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Benton Tyler Ward for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; and

WHEREAS, This fine young man is a member of the Boy Scouts of America in San Antonio; as he joins the elite corps of Eagles, he will receive the coveted Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and

WHEREAS, Few achieve this distinguished honor; only a small percentage of boys in the Scouts BSA program attain the rank of Eagle Scout; and

WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and promise, Benton advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second, First, Star, and Life classes before reaching Eagle Scout; and

WHEREAS, This personable young man displayed leadership through planning, developing, and conducting a service project that benefited his community; for his project, Benton led a group of Scouts and volunteers that built a granite pathway, predator-proof chicken coops, and a rabbit hutch at Camp CAMP, which is a camp designed for children with special needs, in Center Point; he is truly a shining example to his fellow Scouts and to the young people of Texas; and

WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Benton has brought great honor to himself, his family, his troop, his community, and his state; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th Legislature, hereby commend Benton Ward on receiving this prestigious honor and congratulate him on his outstanding achievement; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for Eagle Scout Ward as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
