|
WHEREAS, Clayton Ross Newman of Scouting America Troop |
|
|
No. 194 in Pleasanton 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. Newman earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully |
|
|
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community; |
|
|
working with a team of 23 volunteers, he built a GaGa Ball pit in |
|
|
Pleasanton River Park, providing local children an additional |
|
|
option for physical activity; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Larry and Haley Pierce, 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; he has held a number of leadership positions, |
|
|
serving as historian, librarian, and assistant senior patrol leader |
|
|
of his troop, and he is also a member of the Order of the Arrow; a |
|
|
junior at Pleasanton High School, he plans to study mechanics and |
|
|
welding at Universal Technical Institute after graduation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Newman'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 Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature |
|
|
hereby congratulate Clayton Ross Newman 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. Newman as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
Senate. |
