H.R. No. 1269
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Steven Shigeo Otake of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 285 in San Antonio 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. Otake earned the requisite 21 merit badges, including
those requiring expertise in such diverse areas as rifle shooting,
aviation, and swimming, and he successfully completed an Eagle
Scout project of benefit to Walker Ranch Historic Landmark Park;
and
WHEREAS, The son of Xavier and Polly Pena, this fine young
Texan has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout
his scouting career, winning the respect and admiration of his
fellow scouts as he worked toward the highest rank that scouting
offers; he served as troop scribe and troop representative for the
Order of the Arrow, and he is a recipient of the Arrow of Light
Award; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Otake'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 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Steven Shigeo Otake on achieving
the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for
continued success and happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Otake as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
