H.R. No. 224
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Jeremy Jones of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 501
in Panhandle 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. Jones earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and for
his Eagle Scout project, he painted the bleachers at the local
baseball fields; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Jones has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the
respect and admiration of his fellow troop members as he worked
toward the highest rank that scouting offers; and
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan'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, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Jeremy Jones
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 Mr. Jones as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
