|
WHEREAS, Jacob L. Oatman of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
No. 497 in Waco attained the rank of Eagle Scout in 2007, 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. Oatman earned 29 merit badges and, for his Eagle |
|
|
Scout project, repainted fire hydrants for the City of Woodway; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Lisa and Michael Oatman, this fine young |
|
|
Texan is a student at Midway High School; he is a recipient of the |
|
|
God and Country Pin and the Arrow of Light Award, and he has served |
|
|
as troop scribe, troop guide, and patrol leader; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Oatman'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 Jacob L. Oatman 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. Oatman as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
