|
||
WHEREAS, Brett Ballinger of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. | ||
157 in Lubbock 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. Ballinger earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and | ||
he also successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to | ||
his community, which included designing and building a portable | ||
stage platform for the Community Christian Church; additionally, he | ||
has volunteered at numerous troop events and has instructed younger | ||
scouts about Native American games and traditions at the 2011 | ||
Native American Interpretive Camp; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Karen and Lawrence Ballinger, this fine | ||
young Texan is a senior at Lubbock High School, where he has made | ||
the honor roll every year, participated in gymnastics, and lettered | ||
in diving; he is a junior deacon at Community Christian Church; and | ||
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Ballinger'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 Brett Ballinger 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 Ballinger as an expression of high regard | ||
by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
