H.R. No. 240 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Homero Hernandez of Boy Scouts of America Troop | ||
No. 84 in Mission has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this | ||
accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and | ||
WHEREAS, 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. Hernandez earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully | ||
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which | ||
involved replacing invasive plants with native trees and shrubs at | ||
the McAllen Nature Center; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Jesus Gustavo and Dalia R. Perez, this | ||
fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability | ||
throughout his scouting career, winning the respect and admiration | ||
of his fellow troop members as he worked toward the highest rank | ||
that the organization offers; a member of the Order of the Arrow, he | ||
has served his troop as assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, | ||
assistant senior patrol leader, senior patrol leader, OA troop | ||
representative, and junior assistant scoutmaster; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Hernandez is a junior at Veterans Memorial High | ||
School, where he plays tuba in the marching band; possessed of a | ||
generous spirit, he has given freely of his time and energy during | ||
food drives and beautification projects, and he has served as a | ||
volunteer with vacation Bible school, area animal shelters, and the | ||
local library; and | ||
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Hernandez'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 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Homero Hernandez 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 Hernandez as an expression of high regard | ||
by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
