SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 449

WHEREAS, Cody Michael Powell of Boy Scouts of America Troop 151 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. Powell earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and for his Eagle Scout project, he designed, constructed, and installed three ride-up stations along an equine trail at the Ride on Center for Kids; 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

WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Powell'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 Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd Legislature, hereby congratulate Cody Michael Powell 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. Powell as an expression of high regard by the Texas Senate.
