H.R. No. 142
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Eric Davis of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 1025 in
Houston 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. Davis has earned 42 merit badges, including those
requiring expertise in such diverse areas as astronomy, forestry,
and swimming; for his Eagle Scout project, he created two sets of
computer desks for the Cy-Fair Christian Ministries; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Davis 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 has served as senior patrol leader,
chaplain's aide, and bugler for his troop, and he is a recipient of
the Arrow of Light and a member of the Order of the Arrow; and
WHEREAS, The son of Bill and Suzanne Davis, this fine young
Texan is a senior at Cypress-Ridge High School, where he plays
trumpet with the band; he is also a trained lifeguard and an
experienced summer camp counselor; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Davis's dedication to excellence and
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 Eric Davis 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. Davis as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
