H.R. No. 2744
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Oran Lopez Reed of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 610 in Austin 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. Reed earned the requisite 21 merit badges, including
those requiring expertise in such areas as climbing, canoeing, and
scuba diving, and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project,
which involved adding benches, picnic tables, and trees to Hyde
Park Christian Church Community Garden; and
WHEREAS, The son of Cyrus Reed and Rosa Maria Lopez Reed, 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, Mr. Reed has also distinguished himself outside of
scouting as a student at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy magnet
school and as a member of the LBJ Jaguars and East Austin Lone Stars
soccer teams; after graduation, he plans to study psychology at
St. Edward's University, where he has earned a Presidential
Scholarship and been admitted into the Honors Program; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Reed'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 Eagle Scout Oran Lopez Reed on
achieving this prestigious rank 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 Reed as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
