|
WHEREAS, Andrew W. Killingsworth 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. Killingsworth has earned 32 merit badges, more than |
|
the requisite amount, and he has successfully completed an Eagle |
|
Scout project of benefit to his community, constructing three bin |
|
disposal centers at Gateway College Preparatory School, where he is |
|
a senior; 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; he has spent 82 days and nights |
|
camping at Camp Pirtle, Lost Pines, and Camp Sol Mayer, and he |
|
participated in a Philmont backpacking expedition in 2012; and |
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Killingsworth'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 Andrew W. Killingsworth 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. Killingsworth as an expression of high regard by |
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
