|
|
in Quitman 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. Johnson earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and for |

|
his Eagle Scout project, he created and installed the Joy Garden |
|
|

|
|

|
|
John F. Johnson, Mr. Johnson is a sophomore at Quitman High School, |
|
|
where he is a member of the marching band; he is also active with the |
|
|
Wood County 4-H, Jack and Jill of America, and First 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; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Johnson'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 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Alston Johnson 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 Johnson as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
