H.R. No. 482 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The rank of Eagle Scout is an achievement shared by | ||
only a select few, and the attainment of this significant honor by | ||
Andrew Martinez of Corpus Christi heralds a future bright with | ||
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 | ||
fitness, and environmental science, and he has gained experience in | ||
leadership and teamwork while undertaking his Eagle Scout project, | ||
which involved installing a wheelchair ramp at his high school gym; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has ably served his peers in | ||
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 | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Martinez as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
