H.R. No. 1913

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, Chase Alexander Giles of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 497 in Waco 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, Alex Giles earned 29 merit badges and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community; leading a group of 18 scouts, he constructed a one-half mile cross-country exercise course at Warren Park in Hewitt; and

WHEREAS, The son of Stan and Robyn Giles, 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; a freshman at Midway High School, Mr. Giles is a member of the football team and the men's choir; he is also an active member of his youth group at First Baptist Church of Woodway; and

WHEREAS, His dedication to excellence and his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven Eagle Scout Giles 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 Chase Alexander Giles 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. Giles as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
