SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 167

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize Benjamin Thomas Ferguson of Boy Scout Troop 399 in 
Austin for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; this fine young man 
joined the elite corps of Eagles recently and was presented the 
coveted Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and
	WHEREAS, Few achieve this distinguished honor; only two 
out of every 100 boys in the Boy Scout program attain the rank of 
Eagle Scout; and
	WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and 
promise, Benjamin advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot, 
Second, First, Star, and Life classes before reaching 
Eagle Scout; and
	WHEREAS, This personable young man displayed leadership 
through planning, developing, and conducting a service
project that benefited his community, which was organizing
the categorization of deteriorating headstones in the
Texas State Cemetery; he is truly a shining example to his
fellow Scouts and the young people of Texas; and
	WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Benjamin has brought 
great honor to himself, his family, his troop, his community,
and his state; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby commend Benjamin Thomas Ferguson on 
receiving this prestigious honor and congratulate him on his 
outstanding achievement; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
Eagle Scout Ferguson as an expression of esteem from the 
Texas Senate.
                                                                      Barrientos
