R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Peter Thomas Padilla of Boy Scouts of America Troop 
351 of Helotes 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. Padilla earned the requisite 21 merit badges, including those 
requiring expertise in such diverse areas as space exploration, 
reptiles and amphibians, and fingerprinting; moreover, he 
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his 
community; and
	WHEREAS, The son of proud parents Dave and Lynne Padilla, 
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 senior 
patrol leader and instructor, winning their respect and admiration 
as he worked toward the highest rank that scouting offers; and
	WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Padilla'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 Peter Thomas Padilla 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. Padilla as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
