SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 281

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Lorne Greene Brodie Jr. of Boy Scout Troop 103 in Mesquite for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; this fine young man joined the elite corps of Eagles recently and was presented the coveted Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and

WHEREAS, Few achieve this distinguished honor; only a small percentage of those who enter the Boy Scout program attain the rank of Eagle Scout; and

WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and promise, Lorne advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second, First, Star, and Life classes before reaching Eagle Scout; and

WHEREAS, This personable young man displayed leadership through planning, developing, and conducting a service project that benefited his community; his project involved conducting a flag retirement ceremony for 300 flags on Flag Day in 2014 and presenting the grommets from the retired flags to retired military personnel and their families; he is truly a shining example to his fellow Scouts and the young people of Texas; and

WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Lorne has brought great honor to himself, his family, his troop, his community, and his state; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th Legislature, hereby commend Lorne Greene Brodie Jr. on receiving this prestigious honor and congratulate him on his outstanding achievement; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for Eagle Scout Brodie as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
