R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Sean Gingras of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 405
  in Georgetown 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. Gingras earned 45 merit badges and, for his Eagle
  Scout project, constructed new bookcases for the library at Bridges
  to Growth Resource Center; and
         WHEREAS, Over the course of his scouting career, he has
  served his troop as chaplain aide, patrol leader, and senior patrol
  leader; in addition, Mr. Gingras is a brotherhood member of the
  Order of the Arrow and a recipient of the prestigious Arrow of Light
  Award; and
         WHEREAS, The son of Joan and Phil Gingras, Sean Gingras is a
  junior at Georgetown High School and a valued member of the school
  band as well as Christ Lutheran Church; he plans to attend college
  and pursue a career as a graphic artist and web designer; and
         WHEREAS, This outstanding young Texan's achievements are all
  the more impressive given that he successfully overcame a battle
  with leukemia five years ago; he has since been involved in a number
  of charitable endeavors in behalf of cancer research; and
         WHEREAS, The dedication to excellence and perseverance in the
  pursuit of his goals that Mr. Gingras has demonstrated 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 82nd Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Sean Gingras 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 Eagle Scout Gingras as an expression of high regard by
  the Texas House of Representatives.
