SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 482
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Matthew Michael Bridges of Boy Scout Troop 87 in Corpus
Christi 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, Matthew 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
that benefited his community; for his project, Matthew
constructed a concrete picnic area with two eight-foot
steel-framed picnic tables and a barbecue pit at a low-income
apartment complex owned by a local church; Matthew is truly a
shining example to his fellow scouts and the young people of
Texas; and
WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Matthew 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 Matthew Michael Bridges 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 Bridges as an expression of esteem from the
Texas Senate.
