WHEREAS, Nicholas David Heston of Boy Scouts of America Troop
401 in Helotes 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. Heston earned the requisite 21 merit badges,
including those requiring expertise in such diverse areas as
geology, space exploration, and fingerprinting, and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project that consisted of providing quilts
to a local children's shelter; and
WHEREAS, The son of Janis Painter, this fine young Texan has
demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his
scouting career, serving as a troop guide and scribe and winning the
respect of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the highest rank
that scouting offers; moreover, as a Cub Scout, Mr. Heston earned
the Arrow of Light Award; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Heston'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 Nicholas David Heston 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. Heston as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
