H.R. No. 1128
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Sean Gingras of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 405
in Georgetown 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. Gingras earned 45 merit badges and, for his Eagle
Scout project, constructed new bookcases for the library at Bridges
to Growth Resource Center; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of his scouting career, he has
served his troop as chaplain aide, patrol leader, and senior patrol
leader; in addition, Mr. Gingras is a brotherhood member of the
Order of the Arrow and a recipient of the prestigious Arrow of Light
Award; and
WHEREAS, The son of Joan and Phil Gingras, Sean Gingras is a
junior at Georgetown High School and a valued member of the school
band as well as Christ Lutheran Church; he plans to attend college
and pursue a career as a graphic artist and web designer; and
WHEREAS, This outstanding young Texan's achievements are all
the more impressive given that he successfully overcame a battle
with leukemia five years ago; he has since been involved in a number
of charitable endeavors in behalf of cancer research; and
WHEREAS, The dedication to excellence and perseverance in the
pursuit of his goals that Mr. Gingras has demonstrated 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 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Sean Gingras 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 Eagle Scout Gingras as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
