No. 468 in Friendswood has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and
this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and

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 has been an assistant patrol leader,
quartermaster, and chaplain; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Puckett is a senior at Pasadena High School,
where he is a member of the football, swimming, and bowling teams;
he is active with the student council, the jazz band, and the speech
and debate team, and he represented the school at Texas Boys State
in 2008; he has been recognized with the Pasadena High School
Vanguard Award, and he is a National Hispanic Recognized Scholar;
he holds a first degree black belt in the Korean martial art of Kuk
Sool Won; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Puckett'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 Marcus Edward Puckett 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
