WHEREAS, Charles David Kirkham of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
No. 520 in Arlington 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. Kirkham earned the requisite 21 merit badges and |
|
|
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved |
|
|
making improvements to a house used by Anglican Student Ministries |
|
|
at The University of Texas at Arlington; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding |
|
|
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the |
|
|
respect and admiration of the fellow members of his troop as he |
|
|
worked toward the highest rank that the organization offers; he has |
|
|
logged 100 miles of hiking to earn the 100 Miler Award, and he is a |
|
|
member of the Order of the Arrow; additionally, he is a recipient of |
|
|
the High Adventure Triple Crown Award for his completion of high |
|
|
adventure programs at three BSA national bases; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Kirkham'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 Charles David Kirkham on attaining |
|
|
the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for |
|
|
the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Kirkham as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
