|
|
|
WHEREAS, William Patrick McDonough of Boy Scouts of America |
|
|
Troop No. 814 in San Antonio 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. McDonough earned the requisite 21 merit badges, |
|
|
including those requiring expertise in such diverse areas as |
|
|
forestry, horsemanship, and archaeology, and successfully |
|
|
completed an Eagle Scout project involving the construction of a |
|
|
footbridge at the Lost Maples State Natural Area; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Joe and Lori McDonough, this fine young |
|
|
Texan 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 den chief and troop guide, and he is a |
|
|
recipient of the Arrow of Light Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout McDonough'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 William Patrick McDonough 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. McDonough as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
