H.R. No. 202 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Jackson S. Riggins of Boy Scouts of America Troop | ||
No. 405 in Georgetown 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. Riggins earned 33 merit badges, recorded 104 days and | ||
nights of camping, and took part in 61 service projects totaling 261 | ||
hours; he successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which | ||
involved removing an invasive plant species known as mustard | ||
cabbage at Berry Springs Park; and | ||
WHEREAS, A sophomore at Georgetown High School, this fine | ||
young Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability | ||
throughout his scouting career, winning the respect and admiration | ||
of the fellow members of his troop as he worked toward the highest | ||
rank that the organization offers; and | ||
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Riggins has demonstrated a dedication to | ||
excellence and a perseverance in the pursuit of his goals that 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 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Jackson S. Riggins 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 Riggins as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
