||
WHEREAS, Matthew Richard Snapka Charles of Boy Scouts of | ||
America Troop No. 3 in Corpus Christi 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. Charles earned 23 merit badges requiring expertise in such | ||
diverse areas as first aid, personal fitness, and environmental | ||
science; in addition, he has benefited his community by | ||
successfully completing an Eagle Scout project that involved | ||
raising awareness in the Corpus Christi Independent School District | ||
about the warning signs of type 1 diabetes; and | ||
WHEREAS, The son of Brian Charles and Kathryn Snapka, 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 Brotherhood of the | ||
Order of the Arrow, Mr. Charles served as patrol leader, bugler, | ||
and troop historian, and he earned the Arrow of Light Award; | ||
moreover, he attended National Youth Leadership Training as well as | ||
the 2017 National Jamboree; and | ||
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Charles 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 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Eagle Scout Matthew Richard Snapka | ||
Charles on achieving this prestigious rank 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. Charles as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
