H.R. No. 1575
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Crawford L. Shield 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. Shield earned 38 merit badges and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project that entailed renovating the
playground at the Community Montessori School; and
WHEREAS, A junior at Georgetown High School, where he has
been involved with the football program, 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 attended the Philmont Training Center program as well as winter
camps at Lost Pines and Camp Sol Mayer, and he has participated in a
number of high adventure trips; his future plans include studying
wildlife and coastal resources management in college; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Shield'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 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Crawford L. Shield 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 Shield as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
