WHEREAS, Tyler Grant Gilbert of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 569 in Forney 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. Gilbert served a variety of leadership positions,
acquired 29 merit badges, and took part in the National Youth
Leadership Training course at Camp James Ray, first as a student and
later as a staff member; in July 2014, he successfully completed an
Eagle Scout project, which involved leading a team of 29 people and
coordinating with local officials and suppliers to paint more than
120 fire hydrants in the Forney area; and
WHEREAS, A senior at Forney High School, this fine young
Texan has also distinguished himself outside of scouting by
participating in theater, FFA, football, and competitive bass
fishing; furthermore, he has earned 12 college hours through dual
credit courses at Trinity Valley Community College, where he
maintains a 4.0 GPA; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Gilbert'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 Tyler Grant Gilbert on attaining
the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for
the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Eagle Scout Gilbert as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
