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.
