H.R. No. 1913
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Chase Alexander Giles of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 497 in Waco 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, Alex Giles earned 29 merit badges and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community;
leading a group of 18 scouts, he constructed a one-half mile
cross-country exercise course at Warren Park in Hewitt; and
WHEREAS, The son of Stan and Robyn Giles, 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; a freshman at Midway High School, Mr. Giles is a member of
the football team and the men's choir; he is also an active member
of his youth group at First Baptist Church of Woodway; and
WHEREAS, His dedication to excellence and his perseverance in
the pursuit of his goals have proven Eagle Scout Giles 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 Chase Alexander Giles 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. Giles as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
