WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Matthew Dillon Atkinson of Boy Scout Troop 1114 in | ||
Magnolia for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; this fine young | ||
man joined the elite corps of Eagles recently and is being | ||
presented the coveted Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and | ||

small percentage of boys in the Boy Scout program attain the rank | ||
of Eagle Scout; and | ||
WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and | ||
promise, Matthew advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot, | ||
Second, First, Star, and Life classes before reaching Eagle | ||
Scout; and | ||
WHEREAS, This personable young man displayed leadership | ||
through planning, developing, and conducting a service project | ||
that benefited his community; he is truly a shining example to | ||
his fellow Scouts and the young people of Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Matthew has brought | ||
great honor to himself, his family, his troop, his community, and | ||
his state; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Matthew Dillon | ||
Atkinson on earning this prestigious honor and congratulate him | ||
on his outstanding achievement; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for Eagle | ||
Scout Atkinson as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
