WHEREAS, Charles Lewis Merriweather of Austin, a member of
Boy Scouts of America Troop 513, 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. Merriweather earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project by leading the
planning, design, and installation of a fence, gate, and compost
bin for the Spicewood Elementary School Garden Club; and
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has been a Boy Scout for seven
years and has been inducted into the Order of the Arrow, the
national honor society of scouting; he has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability throughout his time in the organization and won
the respect and admiration of his fellow scouts as he worked toward
the highest rank that scouting offers; and
WHEREAS, Equally accomplished in his other endeavors, Mr.
Merriweather has contributed to the Westwood High School basketball
and football teams for four years and has attended the Philmont
Scout Ranch, Boy Scouts of America Sea Base, Buffalo Trails Scout
Reservation, and numerous other high adventure scouting and venture
crew activities; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Merriweather'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 Charles Merriweather 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. Merriweather as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
