| WHEREAS, For more than a century, the Boy Scouts of America | ||
| has helped young men build character, become responsible citizens, | ||
| and develop their abilities in a wide range of pursuits, and | ||
| those scouts who advance through the program to its highest rank | ||
| are rewarded with the Eagle Scout insignia; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Only about six percent of all Boy Scouts earn the | ||
| title of Eagle Scout, and Grayson Roach of Troop No. 772 may now | ||
| count himself in that select group; in order to obtain this | ||
| notable honor, specific requirements in the areas of leadership, | ||
| service, and outdoor skills must be met; Eagle Scouts need to | ||
| earn at least 21 merit badges, including those in first aid, | ||
| camping, personal fitness, environmental science, and citizenship; | ||
| an Eagle Scout must also serve as a leader both in his troop and | ||
| in the completion of a project that is beneficial to a school, | ||
| religious institution, or community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Many Eagle Scouts go on to further distinguish | ||
| themselves in such fields as business, science, politics, and the | ||
| arts; among those accomplished individuals who have achieved | ||
| Eagle Scout status are astronaut Neil Armstrong, President Gerald | ||
| Ford, jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, film director Steven | ||
| Spielberg, and entrepreneur Sam Walton; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Eagle Scout program fosters self-reliance, | ||
| initiative, and resourcefulness, and those same qualities that | ||
| have enabled Mr. Roach to attain this prestigious rank will be | ||
| invaluable assets to him on the road ahead; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend Eagle Scout Grayson Roach on his | ||
| outstanding achievement and extend to him sincere best wishes for | ||
| continued success in all his endeavors; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| Mr. Roach as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
