H.R. No. 912
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, William Patrick McDonough of Boy Scouts of America
Troop No. 814 in San Antonio 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. McDonough earned the requisite 21 merit badges,
including those requiring expertise in such diverse areas as
forestry, horsemanship, and archaeology, and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project involving the construction of a
footbridge at the Lost Maples State Natural Area; and
WHEREAS, The son of Joe and Lori McDonough, 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 has served as den chief and troop guide, and he is a
recipient of the Arrow of Light Award; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout McDonough'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 William Patrick McDonough 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. McDonough as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
