|
|
Mr. Epstein earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully |

|
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which |

involved restoring three acres of land in River Ranch County Park in |
|
|
Williamson County; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding |
|
|
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, serving his |
|
|
fellow troop members as a chaplain's aide, scribe, assistant patrol |
|
|
leader, patrol leader, and senior patrol leader; moreover, he is a |
|
|
member of the Order of the Arrow and a recipient of the prestigious |
|
|
Arrow of Light Award; and |
|
|

|
|
a member of the school's marching band and tennis team, and he is an |
|
|
active parishioner of Santa Rosa Catholic Church in Andice; he |
|
|
plans to attend Texas Tech University in the fall; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Epstein'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 Garrett |
|
|
Epstein on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him |
