H.R. No. 258
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Nicholas Charles McAtee of Milam County 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. McAtee earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and for
his Eagle Scout project, he planted six live oak trees and
implemented a drip irrigation system at Sts. Cyril and Methodius
Catholic Church--Marak; and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, In addition to devoting time to academic pursuits at
Cameron Yoe High School, Mr. McAtee plays the French horn in the
school band and was named to the All-Region 8 band in December; his
extracurricular interests have included appearing in Milam
Community Theater productions; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout McAtee'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 Nicholas Charles McAtee 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. McAtee as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
