R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Jeremy Jones of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 501
  in Panhandle 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. Jones earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and for
  his Eagle Scout project, he painted the bleachers at the local
  baseball fields; and
         WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Jones has demonstrated outstanding
  leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the
  respect and admiration of his fellow troop members as he worked
  toward the highest rank that scouting offers; and
         WHEREAS, This fine young Texan'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 83rd Texas
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Jeremy Jones
  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 Mr. Jones as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
