|
WHEREAS, Christopher Jacob Joseph Rowden of Boy Scouts of |
|
|
America Troop No. 442 in Friendswood 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. Rowden earned the requisite 21 merit badges and |
|
|
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project that involved |
|
|
building planter boxes for a garden at Mary Queen Catholic Church; |
|
|
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 is a |
|
|
member of the Order of the Arrow, and he has volunteered his time |
|
|
and talent to benefit a number of community efforts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Rowden'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 Christopher Jacob Joseph Rowden on |
|
|
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Rowden as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
