| H.R. No. 313 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Marcos Xavier Palacios 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. Palacios earned the requisite 21 merit badges and | ||
| successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved | ||
| restoring the sign at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in | ||
| Wolfforth and landscaping the surrounding area; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A recipient of the Arrow of Light Award in 2007, he | ||
| has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his | ||
| scouting career, winning the respect and admiration of the fellow | ||
| members of his troop through his service as a patrol leader, Order | ||
| of the Arrow representative, assistant senior patrol leader, and | ||
| senior patrol leader; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The son of Ruben and Minerva Palacios, this fine | ||
| young Texan has distinguished himself outside of scouting as well; | ||
| he graduated from Lubbock High School with International | ||
| Baccalaureate and High Honors Diplomas and earned multiple | ||
| scholarships to the Honors College at Texas Tech University, where | ||
| he is currently pursuing degrees in advertising and electronic | ||
| media and communication; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Palacios 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 Marcos Xavier Palacios on | ||
| attaining 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 Palacios as an expression of high regard by | ||
| the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
