H.R. No. 1833 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Devon Joel Carter of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. | ||
442 in Friendswood 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. Carter earned 45 merit badges, including those | ||
requiring expertise in such diverse areas as mammal study, archery, | ||
leatherwork, and wilderness survival; he also successfully | ||
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community by | ||
creating a flower bed at the Friendswood Animal Shelter; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Michael and Coni Carter, this fine young | ||
Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership 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 has served his peers as a senior patrol leader, | ||
chaplain's aide, troop scribe, and patrol quartermaster and in many | ||
other positions; moreover, he is a member of the Order of the Arrow | ||
and has been honored with special awards such as the Paul Bunyan | ||
Woodsman title, the Polar Bear Award, and the National Outdoors | ||
Award Patch with two gold devices; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Carter is a member of Friendswood United | ||
Methodist Church; he participates in his high school's varsity | ||
marching band and was a junior high all-region band member in 2010 | ||
and 2011; his school activities also include taking both Spanish | ||
and Latin classes; and | ||
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Carter'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 Devon Joel Carter be congratulated on | ||
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and that he be extended sincere | ||
best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Carter as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
