WHEREAS, John Paul Walter 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. Walter earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and for |
|
|
his Eagle Scout project, he constructed a cedar fence along an |
|
|
alleyway at Lubbock High School, helping to alleviate safety and |
|
|
environmental concerns; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A lector and acolyte at St. Paul's Episcopal Church |
|
|
and a senior at Lubbock High School, Mr. Walter is a member of the |
|
|
National Honor Society, a senator in the student council, and |
|
|
president of the Entrepreneur Club and the Latin Club; he also |
|
|
serves as captain of the baseball team, and he will continue to play |
|
|
the game in the fall of 2015 at New York University, where he plans |
|
|
to study business finance and engineering; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Linda and Paul Walter, this fine young |
|
|
Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout |
|
|
his scouting career, serving as a patrol leader and quartermaster |
|
|
and winning the respect and admiration of the fellow members of his |
|
|
troop as he worked toward the highest rank that the organization |
|
|
offers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Walter'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 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate John Paul Walter 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. Walter as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
