H.R. No. 490



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Lane Tiernan Ware of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 
104 in Galveston has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this 
accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and
	WHEREAS, Receiving 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. Ware earned the requisite 21 merit badges and 
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his 
community; entitled "The Great Galveston Read," his project raised 
enough money to provide every third grader in Galveston public 
schools with the book Togo and organized a special day in which 
community leaders led reading sessions for third graders throughout 
the city; morever, Mr. Ware garnered enough donations to fund the 
project for two more years; and
	WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding 
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the  
respect and admiration of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the 
highest rank that scouting offers; and
	WHEREAS, A sophomore at Ball High School in Galveston, Mr. 
Ware is active in numerous activities; he serves on the executive 
board of the student council, belongs to the National Honor 
Society, and plays on the tennis team; and
	WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Ware'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 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Lane Tiernan 
Ware on becoming an Eagle Scout and extend to him best wishes for 
continued success and happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Eagle Scout Ware as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
