H.R. No. 1559



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Victor A. Hernandez of Boy Scouts of America Troop 
707 in Fort Worth 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. Hernandez earned the requisite 21 merit badges, including those 
requiring expertise in such diverse areas as animal science, 
sculpture, and wilderness survival; moreover, he  successfully 
completed an Eagle Scout project that involved  coordinating with 
the Fort Worth Police Department Crime Prevention Unit in the 
I-dent-a-kid Program; serving 50 families at a Fort Worth Parks 
community center, Mr. Hernandez led 10 fellow scouts to fill out 
information sheets, fingerprint and photograph each child, and 
laminate identification cards for the participants; and
	WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding 
leadership ability throughout his scouting career; he has served 
his fellow scouts in the positions of senior patrol leader, 
assistant senior patrol leader, troop scribe, patrol leader, and 
assistant patrol leader, winning their respect and admiration as he 
worked toward the highest rank that scouting offers; and
	WHEREAS, The dedication to excellence and perseverance in the 
pursuit of his goals demonstrated by Eagle Scout Hernandez 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 Victor A. Hernandez on becoming an 
Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; 
and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Eagle Scout Hernandez as an expression of high regard 
by the Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                          Zedler

	I certify that H.R. No. 1559 was adopted by the House on May 
20, 2005, by a non-record vote.
