	WHEREAS, Hanna Watson of Troop 189 in Georgetown, a part of 
The Red Poppy Service Unit, has earned the highest award a Cadette

received the From Dreams to Reality patch or completed five career 
activities, and earned the Cadette Girl Scout Leadership Award or 
Leadership Interest Project patch; and
	WHEREAS, In addition, she successfully completed a Silver 
Award project of benefit to her community, which involved working 
with the youth of St. John's United Methodist Church to make crafts 
for the church's Fall Festival; and
	WHEREAS, Under the guidance of troop leaders Lynn Morris and 
Christy Lange, this fine young woman has demonstrated outstanding 
initiative and an unwavering commitment to the ideals of the Girl 
Scout organization, and her efforts have won her the respect and 
admiration of her peers; and
	WHEREAS, Her dedication to excellence and her perseverance in 
the pursuit of her goals have proven Hanna Watson worthy to stand 
among scouting's elite, and it is most appropriate that she be 
honored at this time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Hanna Watson on earning the Girl 
Scout Silver Award and extend to her sincere best wishes for the 
future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
