|
WHEREAS, Nicholas David Heston of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
401 in Helotes 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. Heston earned the requisite 21 merit badges, |
|
|
including those requiring expertise in such diverse areas as |
|
|
geology, space exploration, and fingerprinting, and successfully |
|
|
completed an Eagle Scout project that consisted of providing quilts |
|
|
to a local children's shelter; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Janis Painter, this fine young Texan has |
|
|
demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his |
|
|
scouting career, serving as a troop guide and scribe and winning the |
|
|
respect of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the highest rank |
|
|
that scouting offers; moreover, as a Cub Scout, Mr. Heston earned |
|
|
the Arrow of Light Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Heston'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 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Nicholas David Heston 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. Heston as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
