WHEREAS, Shelby Brainard of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 155 in Georgetown has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and

WHEREAS, 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. Brainard earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved the rejuvenation of two play areas at First Presbyterian Church of Georgetown; and

WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his scouting career, serving twice as patrol leader and winning the respect and admiration of his fellow troop members as he worked toward the highest rank that the organization offers; and

WHEREAS, A 2017 graduate of East View High School, Mr. Brainard was captain of the debate team and a member of the National Honor Society; he has further distinguished himself as a three-year participant in the Williamson County Teen Court, and he gained valuable experience as a page in the United States Senate; he plans to attend Princeton University in the fall; and

WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Brainard'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 85th Texas Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Shelby Brainard 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 Brainard as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
