By:  Zedler                                                       H.R. No. 833



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Timothy Daniel Jackson of Boy Scouts of America 
Troop 5 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 fraction of those who enter the scouting 
movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding criteria, 
Mr. Jackson earned 26 merit badges, including those requiring 
expertise in such diverse areas as insect study, archery, and space 
exploration; moreover, he successfully completed an Eagle Scout 
project that involved securing and erecting a flagpole for the 
Texas Girls' Choir at Eagle Mountain Lake; and
	WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding 
leadership ability throughout his scouting career; in addition to 
earning the Arrow of Light award, he has served his fellow scouts as 
venture crew vice president, quartermaster, assistant senior 
patrol leader, and patrol leader, winning their respect and 
admiration as he worked toward the highest rank that scouting 
offers; and
	WHEREAS, His scouting career has also been highlighted by his 
10 years of service in the Tejas District Colorguard and 
participation in three gubernatorial inaugural events and two 
presidential inaugurations; and
	WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Jackson's dedication to excellence and 
his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him 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 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Timothy Jackson on becoming an 
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. Jackson as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
