WHEREAS, Hunter Alan Gilbert of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|
|
No. 652 in Houston 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. Gilbert earned 32 merit badges, including those |
|
|
requiring expertise in such diverse areas as archery, snow sports, |
|
|
and wilderness survival; for his Eagle Scout project, he designed |
|
|
and constructed a wheelchair ramp for St. Peter United Church of |
|
|
Christ; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Grant and Sharon Gilbert and a senior at |
|
|
Memorial High School, this fine young Texan has demonstrated |
|
|
outstanding leadership ability throughout his scouting career, |
|
|
winning the respect and admiration of the fellow members of his |
|
|
troop as he worked toward the highest rank that the organization |
|
|
offers; he has served in such roles as senior patrol leader, |
|
|
assistant senior patrol leader, and quartermaster, and he is a |
|
|
recipient of the prestigious Arrow of Light Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Gilbert'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 hereby congratulate Eagle Scout Hunter Alan Gilbert on |
|
|
achieving this prestigious rank 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 Gilbert as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
