R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, In 2004, Justin Stephenson of Midland became a 
third-generation Eagle Scout, attaining the same prestigious rank 
his father, Mike, and his grandfather, Rod, earned as members of Boy 
Scout Troop 152; 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, 
Justin, a student at Robert E. Lee High School, earned the requisite 
21 merit badges and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project 
at Casa de Amigos; and
	WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding 
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, and he 
undoubtedly inherited his exceptional work ethic from his father 
and grandfather, who earned their Eagle Scout badges in 1982 and 
1956, respectively; and
	WHEREAS, The Stephenson family's dedication to excellence 
and perseverance in the pursuit of their goals has proven them 
worthy to stand among scouting's elite and has shaped three 
generations of community leaders; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor the Stephenson family for achieving three 
generations of Eagle Scouts and extend to them sincere best wishes 
for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the family as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
