WHEREAS, Benjamin Thomas Green Pargmann of Boy Scouts of |
|
|
America Troop No. 49 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. Pargmann earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and |
|
|
for his Eagle Scout project, he constructed the Parvo Puppy |
|
|
Memorial Garden, honoring puppies that lost their lives to the |
|
|
parvo virus, for Austin Pets Alive; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A senior at McCallum High School and a member of the |
|
|
National Honor Society, Mr. Pargmann is an accomplished musician |
|
|
and singer; he plays trombone in the school's concert band and |
|
|
performs with both the men's and mixed varsity choirs, and his vocal |
|
|
talents have earned him recognition as a University Interscholastic |
|
|
League Honor Chair First Edition state soloist; after graduation, |
|
|
he will attend Austin College as a recipient of multiple |
|
|
scholarships; 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 has |
|
|
ably served his troop in such positions as patrol leader, assistant |
|
|
patrol leader, and chaplain's aide; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Pargmann'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 Benjamin Thomas Green Pargmann 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 Pargmann as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
