H.R. No. 1084
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Mark Miramon of Boy Scouts of America Troop 59 in El
Paso completed a remarkable project while working steadfastly
toward the goal of attaining the rank of Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, In the course of meeting the rank's demanding
criteria, Mr. Miramon has successfully overseen and completed the
building of a replica of a 4,000-year-old Archaic pit house at the
El Paso Desert Botanical Garden; this structure has a 10-by-10-foot
interior with a smoke hole and small fire pit; it is the only
outdoor pit house in the Southwest and will eventually become part
of a timeline walk at the garden; and
WHEREAS, A freshman at Franklin High School, this fine young
Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout
his scouting career, winning the respect and admiration of his
fellow scouts as he works toward the highest rank that scouting
offers; and
WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant
honor, bestowed on only a fraction of those who enter the scouting
movement, and Mr. Miramon has demonstrated a dedication to
excellence and perseverance in the pursuit of this lofty goal; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Mark Miramon for completing an
exceptional Eagle Scout project as he works to obtain his Eagle
Scout insignia 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. Miramon as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
