|
|
WHEREAS, William Paxton Henke 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, |
|
|
Paxton Henke earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully |
|
|
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community; with a |
|
|
team of 18 volunteers, he remodeled the restroom in the |
|
|
Commemorative Air Force Museum at Stinson Municipal Airport in San |
|
|
Antonio, making the facilities more user-friendly for visitors; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of John and Arminda Henke, 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; in addition, he has served his troop as |
|
|
historian and patrol leader and is a member of the Order of the |
|
|
Arrow; a junior at Falls City High School, he plans to join the U.S. |
|
|
Coast Guard after graduation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Henke'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 William Paxton Henke 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. Henke as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
Senate. |
