R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Justin Edward Macmanus of Boy Scouts of America
Troop No. 142 in Harlingen 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. Macmanus earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and
for his Eagle Scout project, he constructed three wooden shelves
for a storage room at St. Anthony Catholic Church; and
WHEREAS, The son of Brian and Nancy Macmanus, 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; his numerous camping excursions include Buffalo Trails
Scout Ranch and Camp Rancho Cima, and he has served his troop as
patrol leader, senior patrol leader, and camp staffer; and
WHEREAS, In addition to his scouting activities, Mr. Macmanus
is a sophomore at Harlingen High School, where he is vice president
of his class, ranks second academically, and competes for the
varsity tennis team; he is president of his local 4-H club and is
active with his church's youth group and as an altar server; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Macmanus'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 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Justin Edward Macmanus 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 Macmanus as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
