| opportunity and promise; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A senior at Incarnate Word Academy and a Boy Scout | ||
| since 2007, Mr. Martinez has mastered a number of important skills | ||
| in his quest to become an Eagle Scout; he has earned 41 merit badges | ||
| requiring expertise in such diverse areas as first aid, personal | ||

| Boy Scout Troop No. 3 in a number of positions of responsibility, | ||
| including as assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, senior patrol | ||
| leader, quartermaster, and Order of the Arrow treasurer, and in so | ||
| doing, he has exemplified the many positive traits for which Boy | ||
| Scouts are renowned; moreover, he is a recipient of the prestigious | ||
| Arrow of Light Award, and he has further contributed to the scouting | ||
| movement on the national level, having twice attended the National | ||
| Boy Scout Jamboree, where he served in a staff position in 2017, and | ||
| having participated in the 2015 Philmont Scout Ranch Trek as | ||
| assistant crew leader; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In fulfilling the rigorous requirements for | ||
| attaining the Eagle Scout insignia, Andrew Martinez has | ||
| demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the Boy Scouts | ||
| organization and its ideals, and the knowledge and confidence he | ||
| has acquired along the way will indeed serve him well in the years | ||
| to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Andrew Martinez on achieving the | ||
| rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for | ||
| continued success and happiness; and, be it further | ||
