WHEREAS, Eric Davis of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 1025 in |
|
|
Houston 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. Davis has earned 42 merit badges, including those |
|
|
requiring expertise in such diverse areas as astronomy, forestry, |
|
|
and swimming; for his Eagle Scout project, he created two sets of |
|
|
computer desks for the Cy-Fair Christian Ministries; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Davis has demonstrated outstanding leadership |
|
|
ability throughout his scouting career, winning the respect and |
|
|
admiration of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the highest rank |
|
|
that scouting offers; he has served as senior patrol leader, |
|
|
chaplain's aide, and bugler for his troop, and he is a recipient of |
|
|
the Arrow of Light and a member of the Order of the Arrow; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Bill and Suzanne Davis, this fine young |
|
|
Texan is a senior at Cypress-Ridge High School, where he plays |
|
|
trumpet with the band; he is also a trained lifeguard and an |
|
|
experienced summer camp counselor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Davis's dedication to excellence and |
|
|
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 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Eric Davis on achieving the rank of |
|
|
Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success and happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Davis as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
