|
WHEREAS, Andrew C. Freeman of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
No. 496 in McKinney 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. Freeman earned the requisite 21 merit badges; he also |
|
|
completed an Eagle Scout project benefiting the Dallas Metro Dream |
|
|
Center, an inner-city nonprofit serving underprivileged children, |
|
|
youth, and adults, where he relandscaped an outdoor area and built a |
|
|
picnic table for the enjoyment of staff and clients; 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; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Freeman'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 C. Freeman 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 Freeman as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
