|
WHEREAS, Oran Lopez Reed of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
No. 610 in Austin 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. Reed earned the requisite 21 merit badges, including |
|
|
those requiring expertise in such areas as climbing, canoeing, and |
|
|
scuba diving, and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, |
|
|
which involved adding benches, picnic tables, and trees to Hyde |
|
|
Park Christian Church Community Garden; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Cyrus Reed and Rosa Maria Lopez Reed, 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, Mr. Reed has also distinguished himself outside of |
|
|
scouting as a student at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy magnet |
|
|
school and as a member of the LBJ Jaguars and East Austin Lone Stars |
|
|
soccer teams; after graduation, he plans to study psychology at |
|
|
St. Edward's University, where he has earned a Presidential |
|
|
Scholarship and been admitted into the Honors Program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Reed'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 Eagle Scout Oran Lopez Reed on |
|
|
achieving this prestigious rank 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 Reed as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
