|
WHEREAS, Crawford L. Shield 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. Shield earned 38 merit badges and successfully |
|
|
completed an Eagle Scout project that entailed renovating the |
|
|
playground at the Community Montessori School; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A junior at Georgetown High School, where he has |
|
|
been involved with the football program, 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 |
|
|
has attended the Philmont Training Center program as well as winter |
|
|
camps at Lost Pines and Camp Sol Mayer, and he has participated in a |
|
|
number of high adventure trips; his future plans include studying |
|
|
wildlife and coastal resources management in college; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Shield'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 Crawford L. Shield 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 Shield as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
