WHEREAS, Marcos Xavier Palacios of Boy Scouts of America |
|
|
Troop No. 157 in Lubbock 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. Palacios earned the requisite 21 merit badges and |
|
|
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved |
|
|
restoring the sign at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in |
|
|
Wolfforth and landscaping the surrounding area; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A recipient of the Arrow of Light Award in 2007, he |
|
|
has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his |
|
|
scouting career, winning the respect and admiration of the fellow |
|
|
members of his troop through his service as a patrol leader, Order |
|
|
of the Arrow representative, assistant senior patrol leader, and |
|
|
senior patrol leader; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Ruben and Minerva Palacios, this fine |
|
|
young Texan has distinguished himself outside of scouting as well; |
|
|
he graduated from Lubbock High School with International |
|
|
Baccalaureate and High Honors Diplomas and earned multiple |
|
|
scholarships to the Honors College at Texas Tech University, where |
|
|
he is currently pursuing degrees in advertising and electronic |
|
|
media and communication; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Palacios has demonstrated a dedication |
|
|
to excellence and a perseverance in the pursuit of his goals that |
|
|
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 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Marcos Xavier Palacios on |
|
|
attaining 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 |
|
