R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Jackson S. Riggins of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 405 in Georgetown has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this
accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and

honor, bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the

criteria, Mr. Riggins earned 33 merit badges, recorded 104 days and
nights of camping, and took part in 61 service projects totaling 261
hours; he successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which
involved removing an invasive plant species known as mustard
cabbage at Berry Springs Park; and
WHEREAS, A sophomore at Georgetown High School, 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 Riggins has demonstrated a dedication to
excellence and a perseverance in the pursuit of his goals that 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 Jackson S. Riggins 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 Riggins as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
