HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, Current and former members of Boy Scout Troop
  No. 201 in Longview are celebrating the troop's 100th anniversary
  at a ceremony on May 6, 2017; and
         WHEREAS, One of the oldest Boy Scout troops in Texas and one
  of the oldest west of the Mississippi River, Troop No. 201 was
  chartered in Longview in March 1917, only seven years after the Boy
  Scouts of America was founded; the Longview Lions Club officially
  took over sponsorship of the troop on April 1, 1935, and the Lions
  have remained associated with the troop ever since; and
         WHEREAS, From the beginning, the troop has helped its members
  to build character by learning such important life skills as
  leadership, teamwork, discipline, and service to others; the
  Longview Scouts have also had the opportunity to enjoy such
  timeless and fun experiences as camping trips, canoeing
  expeditions, and long-distance hikes; and
         WHEREAS, On the troop's 50th anniversary in 1967, Governor
  John Connally came to Longview to help bury a time capsule near the
  Scout Hut in Teague Park, and at the 100th anniversary, that capsule
  will be unearthed and replaced with the assistance of Governor Greg
  Abbott and Gregg County District Judge David Brabham, who are both
  proud former members of Troop No. 201; and
         WHEREAS, Over the course of the past century, Boy Scout Troop
  No. 201 in Longview has enabled generations of young Texans to
  prepare themselves for the challenges and opportunities of
  adulthood, and on this special occasion, the past and present
  members of the troop may indeed take great pride in their shared
  history; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 85th Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby commemorate the centennial of Boy Scout Troop No. 201 in
  Longview and extend to all those associated with the troop sincere
  best wishes for a meaningful and memorable event; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Troop No. 201 as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
