|
WHEREAS, Jacob Sprouse of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 668 |
|
|
in Gainesville 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, one bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the |
|
|
scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding |
|
|
criteria, Mr. Sprouse earned the requisite 21 merit badges and |
|
|
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his |
|
|
community; to that end, he led a group in building, painting, and |
|
|
installing a swing set in the playground area behind the Myra |
|
|
Volunteer Fire Department; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of John and Teresa Sprouse, Jacob Sprouse |
|
|
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; he served as a patrol leader and twice |
|
|
attended Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico; he looks forward to |
|
|
serving his country as a member of the U.S. Army; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Sprouse'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 Jacob Sprouse 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 Mr. Sprouse as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
