	H.R. No. 864



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Charles David Kirkham of Boy Scouts of America Troop
	No. 520 in Arlington 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. Kirkham earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
	successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved
	making improvements to a house used by Anglican Student Ministries
	at The University of Texas at Arlington; and
	WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding
	leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the
	respect and admiration of the fellow members of his troop as he
	worked toward the highest rank that the organization offers; he has
	logged 100 miles of hiking to earn the 100 Miler Award, and he is a
	member of the Order of the Arrow; additionally, he is a recipient of
	the High Adventure Triple Crown Award for his completion of high
	adventure programs at three BSA national bases; and
	WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Kirkham'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 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Charles David Kirkham on attaining
	the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for
	the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Kirkham as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
