|
WHEREAS, Jake Straker of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 1014 |
|
|
in Cypress 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. Straker earned the requisite 21 merit badges and |
|
|
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved |
|
|
building an outdoor learning space for area children; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Patrick and Janice Straker, 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 through his service as senior |
|
|
patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader, historian, |
|
|
chaplain, and quartermaster; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Straker has distinguished himself outside of |
|
|
scouting as well, earning high marks while taking upper level |
|
|
classes in his sophomore year at Cypress Creek High School; he also |
|
|
captained the football team, participated in student council, and |
|
|
currently works at a competitive volleyball facility; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Straker'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 Jake Straker 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 Straker as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
