H.R. No. 2059
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Jacob Allen Hammack of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 395 in Austin 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. Hammack earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his
community, constructing three sets of bleachers behind a baseball
field at Marbridge Ranch, a residential care and recreation
facility for adults with cognitive challenges; and
WHEREAS, 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 is a member of Oak Hill United
Methodist Church and a third-generation Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Hammack'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 Jacob Allen Hammack be congratulated on
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and that he be extended sincere
best wishes for continued success and happiness.
