WHEREAS, In May 2011, 12 distinguished Webelos Scouts from
Cub Scout Pack No. 710, Den No. 8, chartered by The Lamplighter
School in Dallas, will be publicly honored with the Arrow of Light
Award, and their accomplishment truly merits special recognition;
and
WHEREAS, An integral part of the Boy Scouts of America, the
Cub Scout organization emphasizes outdoor stewardship and
adventure, leadership, sportsmanship, community service, family
relationships, religious duties, character development, good
citizenship, and personal fitness; those Webelos Scouts who
persevere by earning five additional activity badges and fulfilling
all the other requirements are recognized and presented with the
Arrow of Light Award, which is Cub Scouting's highest rank; and
WHEREAS, Cub Scout Pack No. 710 offers year-round programming
for boys in the first through fourth grades; throughout their Cub
Scouting experience, these fine young Texans hone their skills in
such areas as camping, athletics, teamwork, first aid, knot tying,
and knife safety, as well as in woodworking, science, conservation,
and artistic expression; and
WHEREAS, The Webelos Scouts of Pack No. 710, Den No. 8, who
have earned the Arrow of Light Award are Douglas Cowman, Harry
Crutcher, Harrison Hall, Patrick Kerrigan, Duncan Kirstein, Dane
Kozelsky, Ben Lancashire, Grant Needleman, Colin Neuhoff, Quinn
O'Brien, Ethan Rothstein, and Jacob Shepherd, all of whom are well
deserving of this prestigious award and have made lifelong
friendships through scouting; and
WHEREAS, In fulfilling the criteria for achieving the Arrow
of Light Award, these Webelos Scouts have demonstrated bold and
admirable determination in the pursuit of their goals, and all of
them, together with their parents and Cub Scout leaders, may indeed
reflect with tremendous pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the above-named Webelos Scouts
from Cub Scout Pack No. 710 who have earned the Arrow of Light Award
and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued success and
adventure; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
