         WHEREAS, Bryce Wishoun of Spring has received STEM NOVA
  Awards from the Boy Scouts of America in all four categories of the
  program; and
         WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America established a STEM
  initiative to encourage natural curiosity and a sense of wonder
  about the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math; in
  addition, it created an awards program in each of these disciplines
  to recognize youngsters for excelling in these areas; and
         WHEREAS, Through participation in STEM activities, scouts
  learn skills and acquire knowledge that will allow them to succeed
  in a rapidly changing global economy; they also develop a spirit of
  innovation that is essential to the future prosperity of our
  nation; and
         WHEREAS, Scouts work with mentors in the program, but many of
  the tasks must be performed alone; in order to meet requirements,
  they must summon resourcefulness and dedicate a great deal of time
  and energy to reach the prescribed goals; and
         WHEREAS, Bryce Wishoun is a member of the Eagle Scout class of
  2019, Troop 777, and of Venture Scout Explorer Crew 112; an aspiring
  engineer, he plans to attend Texas A&M University; he earned NOVA
  Awards not only in engineering, but also in science, math, and
  technology; and
         WHEREAS, In mastering the material necessary to garner awards
  in the four components of STEM, this outstanding young Texan has
  demonstrated qualities that will continue to serve him well as he
  pursues his dreams in the years to come; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Bryce Wishoun on receiving four
  STEM NOVA Awards from the Boy Scouts of America and extend to him
  sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mr. Wishoun as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
