|
WHEREAS, Tyler Grant Gilbert of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
No. 569 in Forney 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. Gilbert served a variety of leadership positions, |
|
|
acquired 29 merit badges, and took part in the National Youth |
|
|
Leadership Training course at Camp James Ray, first as a student and |
|
|
later as a staff member; in July 2014, he successfully completed an |
|
|
Eagle Scout project, which involved leading a team of 29 people and |
|
|
coordinating with local officials and suppliers to paint more than |
|
|
120 fire hydrants in the Forney area; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A senior at Forney High School, this fine young |
|
|
Texan has also distinguished himself outside of scouting by |
|
|
participating in theater, FFA, football, and competitive bass |
|
|
fishing; furthermore, he has earned 12 college hours through dual |
|
|
credit courses at Trinity Valley Community College, where he |
|
|
maintains a 4.0 GPA; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Gilbert'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 Tyler Grant Gilbert 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 Eagle Scout Gilbert as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
