WHEREAS, Twelve outstanding young Texans from Troop 399 of
the Capitol Area Council, Longhorn District, achieved the highest
rank bestowed by the Boy Scouts of America when they received their
Eagle Scout badges at a special Court of Honor held on January 30,
2005; and
WHEREAS, Becoming an Eagle Scout is a significant
achievement, attained by fewer than four percent of all those who

leadership, service, and outdoor skills, including earning 21 merit
badges and successfully completing an Eagle Scout project of
benefit to his community; and

Hooks, Matthew Whitten Kenny, Bradley Patrick O'Connell, Benjamin
Thomas Ferguson, Thomas Edward Luker, Andrew Robert Butler, David
Robert Hays, William Britton Dawson, Brian Scott Grundy, Adam
Russell Zimmerman, Martin Chapman Bauer, and Jack David Thompson,
all of Austin; and
WHEREAS, The dedication to excellence and the perseverance in
the pursuit of their goals that these young men have demonstrated
have proven them worthy to stand among scouting's elite, and it is
most appropriate that they be honored at this time; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Eagle Scouts Hooks, Kenny,
O'Connell, Ferguson, Luker, Butler, Hays, Dawson, Grundy,
Zimmerman, Bauer, and Thompson, and extend to them sincere best
wishes for success in all of their future endeavors; and, be it
further
