SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1017
         WHEREAS, Craig Brandenberger of Boy Scouts of America
  Troop No. 209 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. Brandenberger earned the requisite 21 merit badges
  and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to
  his community, which consisted of making improvements to the
  memorial garden at Holy Covenant United Methodist Church; and
         WHEREAS, 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 is a
  member of the National Honor Society and National Art Honor
  Society at Faith West Academy; he serves his church as sound
  technician and as a member of youth council, youth praise band,
  and handbell choir, and he plans to study marine biology at Texas
  A&M University at Galveston after his graduation; and
         WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Brandenberger'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 Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
  Legislature, hereby congratulate Craig Brandenberger on
  achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and extended 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. Brandenberger as an expression of high regard
  from the Texas Senate.
