R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The silver insignia of the Eagle Scout was conferred 
on Zachary Lane Borders at his Court of Honor ceremony on May 1, 
2002; and
	WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant 
honor, one bestowed on only a fraction of those who enter the 
scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding 
criteria, Mr. Borders earned 21 merit badges and successfully 
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which 
involved working to improve the site and facilities of Foundry 
United Methodist Church; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout his scouting career, Mr. Borders has 
demonstrated outstanding leadership ability, serving his fellow 
scouts as patrol leader, assistant patrol leader, troop guide, 
assistant senior patrol leader, and chaplain's aide; in addition, 
he received the Arrow of Light Award, the God and Church Award, and 
the World Conservation Award; and
	WHEREAS, An honor student at Cypress Falls High School and 
trombone section leader for the school's band, Mr. Borders is a 
member of the National Honor Society and the UM Army and is listed 
in Who's Who Among American High School Students; and
	WHEREAS, His dedication to excellence and his perseverance in 
the pursuit of his goals have proven Eagle Scout Borders worthy to 
stand among scouting's elite, and it is most appropriate that he be 
honored at this time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend Zachary Lane Borders on attaining 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. Borders as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
