SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 261
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize David Ahmad Jackson of Boy Scout Troop 212 for
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; this fine young man joined the
elite corps of Eagles recently and was presented the coveted
Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and
WHEREAS, Few achieve this distinguished honor; only five
out of every 100 boys in the Boy Scout program attain the rank of
Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and
promise, David advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second,
First, Star, and Life classes before reaching Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, This personable young man displayed leadership
through planning, developing, and conducting a service project
which explored the effects of diabetes among African and Hispanic
Americans; he is truly a shining example to his fellow Scouts and
the young people of Texas; and
WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, David has brought
great honor to himself, his family, his troop, his community, and
his state; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby commend David Ahmad Jackson on receiving
this prestigious honor and congratulate him on his outstanding
achievement; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Eagle Scout Jackson as an expression of esteem from the Texas
Senate.
