H.R. No. 180
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Uriah Dillard of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 229
in Harker Heights 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. Dillard earned the requisite 21 merit badges,
including those requiring expertise in such diverse areas as first
aid, camping, and environmental science; he further successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which
involved organizing and managing fellow scouts and adults in
rehabilitating a playground area at a local church; 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; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Dillard'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 Uriah Dillard 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 Eagle Scout Dillard as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
