WHEREAS, Nicholas James Galnares of Boy Scouts of America Troop 437 attained the rank of Eagle Scout on February 6, 2007, and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and

WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his scouting career, gaining the respect and admiration of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the highest rank that scouting offers; through his various scout projects he has built shelves for Garden Ridge Elementary School, cooked and served food at Ronald McDonald House, and planted trees in neighborhood parks; he will participate in the Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony on May 31, 2007; and

WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Galnares's dedication to excellence and his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him worthy to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
