SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 889

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join the citizens of Houston in recognizing Ross Krueger of Troop 35, who has recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout; and

WHEREAS, Only five out of every 100 Boy Scouts earn the exceptional privilege of being named to the elite corps of Eagle Scouts; and

WHEREAS, This fine young man displayed outstanding leadership through the planning and execution of a service project that has benefited his community; and

WHEREAS, By earning the coveted Eagle Badge, Ross brings great honor to himself, his family, his troop, and his community; and

WHEREAS, Ross is truly a shining example to the young people of Texas; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st Legislature, hereby commend Ross Krueger on earning the rank of Eagle Scout and congratulate him on his great achievement; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for Eagle Scout Krueger as an expression of the high regard of the Texas Senate.
