|
WHEREAS, Genaro Alejandro DeLeon of Boy Scouts of America |
|
Troop No. 186 in Kingsville has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, |
|
and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and |
|
WHEREAS, Receiving 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. DeLeon earned 25 merit badges in such diverse areas as |
|
first aid, personal fitness, and environmental science; he has also |
|
gained experience in leadership and teamwork while undertaking his |
|
Eagle Scout project, which involved organizing the restoration of |
|
the basketball court at St. Gertrude Catholic School; and |
|
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding |
|
ability throughout his scouting career, winning the respect and |
|
admiration of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the highest rank |
|
that scouting offers; he plans to attend The University of Texas at |
|
Austin, where he will major in biology as a premed student in the |
|
Health Science Honors Program; and |
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout DeLeon'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 House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Genaro Alejandro DeLeon 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 Eagle Scout DeLeon as an expression of high regard by |
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
