honor bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the |

scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding |
|
|
criteria, Mr. Richards earned 23 merit badges and successfully |

|
patrol leader, chaplain, assistant patrol leader, bugler, and tour |
|
|
guide leader; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has been involved in scouting |
|
|
since first grade; an honor roll student, he is currently enrolled |
|
|
in the International Baccalaureate program at Lubbock High School, |
|
|
where he has excelled in academics and extracurricular activities, |
|
|
including basketball and the academic decathlon; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Richards'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 |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|

|
|
