| 5 | 6 | | WHEREAS, Andrew C. Freeman of Boy Scouts of America Troop |
|---|
| 6 | 7 | | No. 496 in McKinney has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this |
|---|
| 7 | 8 | | accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and |
|---|
| 8 | 9 | | WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant |
|---|
| 9 | 10 | | honor, bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the |
|---|
| 10 | 11 | | scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding |
|---|
| 11 | 12 | | criteria, Mr. Freeman earned the requisite 21 merit badges; he also |
|---|
| 12 | 13 | | completed an Eagle Scout project benefiting the Dallas Metro Dream |
|---|
| 13 | 14 | | Center, an inner-city nonprofit serving underprivileged children, |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | youth, and adults, where he relandscaped an outdoor area and built a |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | picnic table for the enjoyment of staff and clients; and |
|---|
| 16 | 17 | | WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding |
|---|
| 17 | 18 | | leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the |
|---|
| 18 | 19 | | respect and admiration of the fellow members of his troop as he |
|---|
| 19 | 20 | | worked toward the highest rank that the organization offers; and |
|---|
| 20 | 21 | | WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Freeman's dedication to excellence and |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him worthy |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect with |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|---|
| 25 | 26 | | Legislature hereby congratulate Andrew C. Freeman on achieving the |
|---|
| 26 | 27 | | rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for |
|---|
| 27 | 28 | | continued success and happiness; and, be it further |
|---|
| 28 | 29 | | RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|---|
| 29 | 30 | | prepared for Eagle Scout Freeman as an expression of high regard by |
|---|
| 30 | 31 | | the Texas House of Representatives. |
