WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America is celebrating its 100th |
|
anniversary on February 8, 2010; and |
|
WHEREAS, Since its incorporation on that day in 1910, BSA has |
|
sought to provide an educational program for boys and young men to |
|
build character, to train in the responsibilities of participating |
|
citizenship, and to develop personal fitness; and |
|
WHEREAS, The organization's illustrious history of service |
|
includes selling Liberty Loan bonds and war savings stamps during |
|
World War I, collecting food and supplies for the needy during the |
|
Great Depression, and planting victory gardens and assisting the |
|
American Red Cross during World War II; more recently, scouts have |
|
participated in conservation efforts as part of Project SOAR and |
|
worked to fight hunger, provide shelter, and teach the habits of |
|
healthy living as part of the Good Turn for America initiative; and |
|
WHEREAS, In addition to Boy Scouting, BSA has expanded to |
|
offer such programs as Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, |
|
Varsity Scouting, and Venturing; moreover, through Scoutreach, BSA |
|
works to ensure that scouting is accessible to both urban and rural |
|
youth; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts program unites Americans from all |
|
walks of life; from conservation to character building, BSA's 100th |
|
anniversary commemorates the highest scouting ideals of helping |
|
others and making communities stronger; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
Legislature hereby honor Boy Scouts of America on the occasion of |
|
its centennial and extend to all those associated with this |
|
exemplary organization sincere best wishes for continued success; |
|
and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the BSA as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
