WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Boy Scout Troop 9 of Austin on the occasion of its 100th | ||
anniversary, which is being celebrated September 2, 2017; and | ||
WHEREAS, Boy Scout Troop 9 was established in May of 1917; | ||
it is currently chartered by the Bryker Woods Elementary School | ||
Parent-Teacher Association; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through the years, the troop has had 62 boys achieve | ||
the rank of Eagle Scout; countless others have learned first aid, | ||
citizenship, teamwork, rope tying, canoeing, and other skills; and | ||
WHEREAS, Troop 9 has undertaken many service projects to | ||
benefit the community, and its members have participated in high | ||
adventure trips to the famed Philmont Ranch in New Mexico and the | ||
boundary waters of Canada; an important part of the troop's | ||
legacy is the Scout Hut at Bryker Woods Elementary School, which | ||
was constructed in 1955 and continues to serve as a meeting place | ||
for Scouts and other groups of various kinds; and | ||
WHEREAS, Troop 9 has had a profound influence on the lives | ||
