|
WHEREAS, Colin Hunter Paul 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. Paul earned 28 merit badges and completed an Eagle |
|
|
Scout project that included collecting and retiring 884 worn |
|
|
U.S. flags and culminated in a ceremony at Sun City's Memorial Park |
|
|
on September 11, 2011; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A sophomore at Georgetown High School and a |
|
|
congregant of Faith Lutheran Church, 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 |
|
|
is a member of the Order of the Arrow, and he is the only member of |
|
|
his troop to receive a Medal of Merit, an honor he earned for saving |
|
|
his cousin's life; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Paul'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 hereby congratulate Colin Hunter Paul on attaining the |
|
|
rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for |
|
|
continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Paul as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
