House Resolution 53
(As Adopted by House)
A RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING FRED "AUSTIN" SCHIEL ON ACHIEVING THE EAGLE SCOUT AWARD AND BEING HONORED AT THE DISTINGUISHED EAGLE SCOUT COURT OF HONOR CEREMONY.
WHEREAS, Fred "Austin" Schiel of Burnsville, Mississippi, a member of Troop 75, Yocona Area Council, will be honored with the Eagle Scout Award during the distinguished and time honored Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony, held on March 14, 2015, at Go4th Ministries of Iuka, Mississippi; and
WHEREAS, this young man has been a scout for a number of years, and as evidenced by the remarkable achievement of the Eagle Scout rank, Austin's list of community service and extracurricular activities prove that he has what it takes to make a positive impact on his community and has a bright future ahead of him; and
WHEREAS, throughout his years as a Boy Scout, Austin has fulfilled his duties and obligations of maintaining and promoting the mission and vision of the Boy Scouts of America by earning an impressive 30 merit badges, showing his dedication and determination; and
WHEREAS, for his Eagle Scout project, Austin organized and coordinated an effort to renovate the parking lot at Go4th Ministries, including cleaning the lot, spraying the weeds that have grown up through cracks in the pavement, filling up the larger cracks, restriping and landscaping the parking lot; and
WHEREAS, always willing to lend a hand to others in need, Austin helped replace roofing on homes that were severely damaged by the devastating tornado that impacted Tupelo, Mississippi; and
WHEREAS, Austin has earned several distinguished accolades throughout his Scouting career, including the Arrow of Light as a Cub Scout and the Gold, Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh's Award, which is a series of activities that develops the whole person, mind, body and soul in an environment of social interaction and teamworking and requires confidence and self-esteem; and
WHEREAS, of the many endeavors he has undertaken as a Scout, completing the vigorous one mile swim at camp was one of Austin's most prideful moments, because finishing that grueling swim is an accomplishment that only the most dedicated and determined of Scouts can successfully achieve; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the House of Representatives to commend young Mississippians, such as Fred "Austin" Schiel, who have attained scouting's highest rank and in doing so, bring honor to their family, school, community and the State of Mississippi:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby commend and congratulate Fred "Austin" Schiel of Troop 75, Yocona Area Council, upon earning the Eagle Scout Award and extend sincere wishes for continued success in all of his future endeavors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be furnished to Fred "Austin" Schiel and to the members of the Capitol Press Corps.
