H.R. No. 1702

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, Garner Millard of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 497 in Waco has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and

WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant 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. Millard earned 31 merit badges and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project in which he designed and implemented an ongoing volunteer program for Midway Middle School that allows students to participate in one-day service projects; and

WHEREAS, The son of Michael and Cindee Millard, this eighth-grade student has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his scouting career; he is a member of the prestigious Order of the Arrow, scouting's national honor society, serves as a senior patrol leader, and enjoys the respect and admiration of his fellow scouts; and

WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Millard'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 Legislature hereby congratulate Garner Millard for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Mr. Millard as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
