|
WHEREAS, Ethan Cole Rascoe of Scouts BSA Troop No. 9 in |
|
Lumberton 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, |
|
Mr. Rascoe earned 26 merit badges and successfully completed an |
|
Eagle Scout project that involved building a stone fire ring at the |
|
group campsite at Village Creek State Park in Lumberton; the |
|
project was designed in conjunction with the American Legion Post |
|
No. 72 as a location to hold flag retirement ceremonies; and |
|
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan 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; a 2020 |
|
graduate of Lumberton High School, he played the trumpet and was a |
|
section leader in the Lumberton Mighty Raider Band; he is currently |
|
enrolled at Lamar Institute of Technology, where he is working |
|
toward his associate degree in welding; and |
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Rascoe'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 87th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Ethan Cole Rascoe 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 Eagle Scout Rascoe as an expression of high regard by |
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
