SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 56
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the
citizens of Houston in congratulating Kyle Matthew Hodgeson of
Boy Scout Troop 1020, who recently completed the requirements for
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, This outstanding young man has brought honor to
himself, his family, his troop, his community, and his state in
earning the coveted Eagle Badge; and
WHEREAS, Kyle completed a service project that required
him to exercise his leadership abilities and at the same time
benefit his community; his project was the restoration of
Nicole's Way Pocket Park in Houston's Memorial Park, and it
involved planning, fund-raising, recruiting volunteers, and
managing the installation of new plants and landscaping
materials; and
WHEREAS, Few are privileged to be named among the ranks of
the elite corps of Eagle Scouts; only five out of every 100 Boy
Scouts earn this distinguished honor; and
WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and
promise, Kyle advanced from Tenderfoot, Second, First, Star, and
Life classes to Eagle Scout; he is truly an exemplary citizen of
the State of Texas; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Kyle
Matthew Hodgeson on attaining the rank of Eagle Scout and commend
him on this great achievement; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Eagle Scout Hodgeson as an expression of esteem from the Texas
Senate.
