WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Pat Currie, who is retiring after nearly 40 years of | ||
outstanding service with the Boy Scouts of America; and | ||
WHEREAS, Pat Currie has been Scout executive and chief | ||
executive officer of the Circle Ten Council in Dallas since 2010; | ||
he began his distinguished career in Scouting in 1979 with the | ||
West Tennessee Area Council in Jackson, Tennessee, before moving | ||
to the Chickasaw Council in Memphis, where he rose to the | ||
position of director of Field Service; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Currie went on to serve as Scout executive and | ||
executive director of the Black Warrior Council in Tuscaloosa, | ||
Alabama, and of the Blue Ridge Council in Greenville, South | ||
Carolina; he served for a time as deputy regional director of the | ||
Southern Region before joining the Circle Ten Council; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under his exemplary leadership, the Circle Ten | ||
Council has enjoyed unprecedented success; membership has | ||
increased each year, and the council has seen a dramatic increase | ||
in financial resources and in camping facilities that are such a | ||
vital part of Scouting; and | ||
WHEREAS, Pat Currie has had a profound impact on the Boy | ||
Scouts of America over the course of his career, and it is truly | ||
fitting that he receive special recognition for his hard work and | ||
his commitment to the Scouting movement; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Pat Currie on his | ||
exceptional service to the Boy Scouts of America and extend to | ||
him best wishes for the retirement years ahead; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for him | ||
as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
