WHEREAS, Thomas Dunn of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 61 in |
|
|
Austin 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. Dunn earned the requisite 21 merit badges and |
|
|
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project that consisted of the |
|
|
construction of a stairway and planting a tree on the grounds of Joe |
|
|
Dan Mills Elementary School; the stairway, called "Stence's Steps," |
|
|
is dedicated to the memory of Ron Stence, a beloved former scout |
|
|
leader and volunteer at Mills; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Penny and Chris Dunn, Mr. Dunn is a |
|
|
sophomore at Bowie High School, where he plays on the baseball and |
|
|
football teams; he also enjoys weightlifting and hiking, has been a |
|
|
member of the National Junior Honor Society, and has volunteered as |
|
|
a mentor, tutor, and science fair judge; 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 serving his troop in such |
|
|
positions as senior patrol leader, chaplain's aide, historian, |
|
|
librarian, and quartermaster; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Dunn'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 Thomas Dunn 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 Dunn as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
