WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Marcel Oliver López Reed for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; and

WHEREAS, This fine young man is a member of Scouts BSA Troop 28 in Austin; upon joining the elite corps of Eagles, he received the coveted Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and

WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and promise, Marcel 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; for his project, he built two picnic tables, and he raised funds to purchase two soccer goals for the soccer field at Ridgetop Elementary School; he is truly a shining example to his fellow Scouts and the young people of Texas; and

WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Marcel 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, 86th Legislature, hereby commend Marcel Oliver López Reed 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 López Reed as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
