|
|
WHEREAS, William Jefferson Adcock Spain of Boy Scouts of |
|
America Troop No. 511 in Houston has attained the rank of Eagle |
|
Scout, and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, 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, |
|
Jeff Spain earned twice the required number of merit badges for a |
|
total of 42; he also successfully completed an Eagle Scout project |
|
that involved working with the Grimes County Historical Commission |
|
to preserve a local cemetery; and |
|
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding |
|
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, serving as a |
|
patrol leader, senior patrol leader, and outdoor ethics guide; |
|
moreover, he has acted as the chaplain aide since 2015, performing |
|
the benediction at weekly troop meetings and leading worship on |
|
Sundays when the troop is away from home; and |
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Spain'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 86th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate William Jefferson Adcock Spain 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. Spain as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
