|
|
WHEREAS, Connor Oakley of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 390 |
|
|
in Terrell 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. Oakley earned the requisite 21 merit badges and |
|
|
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project in which he raised |
|
|
more than $1,600 to build a sandbox for the children's unit at |
|
|
Terrell State Hospital; 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; involved in scouting since the |
|
|
first grade, he has participated in SeaBase High Adventure trips in |
|
|
the Florida Keys and the Bahamas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Oakley'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 Connor Oakley 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 Oakley as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
