H.R. No. 1345
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Austin Olivera of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 999 in Plano 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. Olivera earned not only the requisite 21 merit
badges, but more than 30 badges total; he also successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which
included making additions and improvements to a no-kill animal
shelter; and
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the
respect and admiration of the fellow members of his troop as he
worked toward the highest rank that the organization offers; a
junior at Plano West High School, he plays outside linebacker on the
varsity football team and hopes to study sports medicine and play
football at Baylor University; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Olivera'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 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Austin Olivera 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. Olivera as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
