H.R. No. 2198

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, Avi Passy of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 806 in Houston 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, one bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding criteria, Mr. Passy earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community; to enhance the Meals on Wheels program sponsored by the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center, Mr. Passy created the J's Companionship Support Project, which has generated donations of dog and cat food for beneficiaries of Meals on Wheels, thus ensuring sufficient nutrition for their pet companions as well; and

WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the respect and admiration of fellow members of his troop as he worked toward the highest rank that the organization offers; he has ably served his troop as senior patrol leader, among other roles; and

WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Passy'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 Avi Passy 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 Eagle Scout Passy as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
