SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 776
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Jacob Barker of Boy Scout Troop 405 in Georgetown for |
|
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; this fine young man joined |
|
the elite corps of Eagles recently and is being presented the |
|
coveted Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Few achieve this distinguished honor; only a |
|
small percentage of boys in the Boy Scout program attain the rank |
|
of Eagle Scout; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and |
|
promise, Jacob advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second, |
|
First, Star, and Life classes before reaching Eagle Scout; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This personable young man displayed leadership |
|
through planning, developing, and conducting a service project |
|
that benefited his community; he restored the memorial garden at |
|
Forbes Middle School, a project that took more than 200 hours to |
|
complete; he is truly a shining example to his fellow Scouts and |
|
the young people of Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Jacob has brought |
|
great honor to himself, his family, his troop, his community, and |
|
his state; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, hereby commend Jacob Barker on receiving this |
|
prestigious honor and congratulate him on his outstanding |
|
achievement; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
Eagle Scout Barker as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
