H.R. No. 2809
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Benjamin Thomas Green Pargmann of Boy Scouts of
America Troop No. 49 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. Pargmann earned the requisite 21 merit badges, and
for his Eagle Scout project, he constructed the Parvo Puppy
Memorial Garden, honoring puppies that lost their lives to the
parvo virus, for Austin Pets Alive; and
WHEREAS, A senior at McCallum High School and a member of the
National Honor Society, Mr. Pargmann is an accomplished musician
and singer; he plays trombone in the school's concert band and
performs with both the men's and mixed varsity choirs, and his vocal
talents have earned him recognition as a University Interscholastic
League Honor Chair First Edition state soloist; after graduation,
he will attend Austin College as a recipient of multiple
scholarships; 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; he has
ably served his troop in such positions as patrol leader, assistant
patrol leader, and chaplain's aide; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Pargmann'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 Benjamin Thomas Green Pargmann 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 Pargmann as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
