	ability throughout his scouting career, serving his fellow scouts

	the Arrow troop representative, and he has attended a number of
	advanced scout training programs in Texas, New Mexico, and
	Oklahoma; and
	WHEREAS, A student at A&M Consolidated High School, Mr.
	Hughes has participated in varsity golf and the Young Life program;
	he also serves the congregation of St. Thomas Episcopal Church as an
	acolyte and has attended the Episcopal Youth Conference; and
	WHEREAS, This fine young Texan's dedication 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 Benjamin Nicholas Hughes on
	achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best
	wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further
