H.R. No. 2514
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Andrew C. Freeman of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 496 in McKinney 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. Freeman earned the requisite 21 merit badges; he also
completed an Eagle Scout project benefiting the Dallas Metro Dream
Center, an inner-city nonprofit serving underprivileged children,
youth, and adults, where he relandscaped an outdoor area and built a
picnic table for the enjoyment of staff and clients; 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 Freeman'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 Andrew C. Freeman 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 Freeman as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
