H.R. No. 954
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Colin Hunter Paul 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. Paul earned 28 merit badges and completed an Eagle
Scout project that included collecting and retiring 884 worn
U.S. flags and culminated in a ceremony at Sun City's Memorial Park
on September 11, 2011; and
WHEREAS, A sophomore at Georgetown High School and a
congregant of Faith Lutheran Church, 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
is a member of the Order of the Arrow, and he is the only member of
his troop to receive a Medal of Merit, an honor he earned for saving
his cousin's life; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Paul'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 Colin Hunter Paul on attaining the
rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Paul as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
