|
WHEREAS, James Lloyd Bentley of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
No. 157 in Lubbock 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. Bentley earned the requisite 21 merit badges and |
|
|
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his |
|
|
community; Mr. Bentley's project involved building and installing |
|
|
75 lockers at the Paul's Project Grace Campus, giving the emergency |
|
|
shelter's homeless residents a much-needed place to secure personal |
|
|
belongings during their stay at the campus's transitional |
|
|
facilities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Jake and Darlene Bentley, this fine young |
|
|
Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout |
|
|
his scouting career, winning the respect and admiration of his |
|
|
fellow troop members as he worked toward the highest rank that the |
|
|
organization offers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Bentley's dedication to excellence and |
|
|
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 hereby congratulate James Lloyd Bentley 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 Bentley as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
