|
|
|
WHEREAS, Steven Shigeo Otake of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
No. 285 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. Otake earned the requisite 21 merit badges, including |
|
|
those requiring expertise in such diverse areas as rifle shooting, |
|
|
aviation, and swimming, and he successfully completed an Eagle |
|
|
Scout project of benefit to Walker Ranch Historic Landmark Park; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Xavier and Polly Pena, 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 served as troop scribe and troop representative for the |
|
|
Order of the Arrow, and he is a recipient of the Arrow of Light |
|
|
Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Otake'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 Steven Shigeo Otake 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. Otake as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
