WHEREAS, Christopher Stefan Knill of Highland Village, a member of the Boy Scouts of America, has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and

WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Knill'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 reflect with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate Christopher Stefan Knill on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further
