WHEREAS, Matthew Aaron Goodrum of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 540 in Houston 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. Goodrum earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his
community; and
WHEREAS, The son of David Goodrum and Melinda Massey and a
junior at St. Pius X High School, this fine young Texan has
demonstrated outstanding leadership ability throughout his
scouting career; he has won the respect and admiration of the fellow
members of his troop through his service as patrol leader and as an
inductee of the Brotherhood of the Order of the Arrow; furthermore,
he has the distinction of becoming the 50th Eagle Scout from his
troop, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Goodrum'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 Matthew Aaron Goodrum 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 Goodrum as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
