WHEREAS, Jake Straker of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 1014
in Cypress 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. Straker earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved
building an outdoor learning space for area children; and
WHEREAS, The son of Patrick and Janice Straker, 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 through his service as senior
patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader, historian,
chaplain, and quartermaster; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Straker has distinguished himself outside of
scouting as well, earning high marks while taking upper level
classes in his sophomore year at Cypress Creek High School; he also
captained the football team, participated in student council, and
currently works at a competitive volleyball facility; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Straker'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 Jake Straker 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 Straker as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
