H.R. No. 1355
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Jordan David Schmucker of Boy Scouts of America
Troop No. 690 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. Schmucker earned the requisite 21 merit badges,
including those that require expertise in such diverse areas as
crime prevention, archery, and medicine, and he successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which
consisted in part of planting trees for Primarily Primates, an
animal sanctuary in Bexar County; and
WHEREAS, The son of Andrew Schmucker, this fine young Texan
has demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his
scouting career; he is a recipient of the Arrow of Light award and
has served his troop in such positions as vice president and
co-captain, winning the respect and admiration of his fellow scouts
as he worked toward the highest rank that scouting offers; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Schmucker'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 Jordan David Schmucker 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. Schmucker as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
