|
outstanding service with the Boy Scouts of America; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pat Currie has been Scout executive and chief |
|
executive officer of the Circle Ten Council in Dallas since 2010; |
|
he began his distinguished career in Scouting in 1979 with the |

West Tennessee Area Council in Jackson, Tennessee, before moving |
|
to the Chickasaw Council in Memphis, where he rose to the |
|
position of director of Field Service; and |

|
executive director of the Black Warrior Council in Tuscaloosa, |

Alabama, and of the Blue Ridge Council in Greenville, South |
|
Carolina; he served for a time as deputy regional director of the |
|
Southern Region before joining the Circle Ten Council; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under his exemplary leadership, the Circle Ten |
|
Council has enjoyed unprecedented success; membership has |
|
increased each year, and the council has seen a dramatic increase |
|
in financial resources and in camping facilities that are such a |
|
vital part of Scouting; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pat Currie has had a profound impact on the Boy |
|
Scouts of America over the course of his career, and it is truly |

his commitment to the Scouting movement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
