R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, John Thomas Thrash of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 157 in Lubbock 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. Thrash earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which included
distributing backpacks filled with essential items to homeless
individuals; and
WHEREAS, The son of Howard and Julie Thrash, this fine young
Texan has also been active in his community of faith, attending
mission trips and youth activities with First United Methodist
Church; while at Lubbock High School, he participated in band,
tennis, and golf, and he completed the MS 150 bike race two years in
a row; now a freshman at Texas Tech University, he is studying
business and enjoying the outdoors by skiing, hunting, and
fly-fishing when he has the opportunity; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Thrash'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 John Thomas Thrash on attaining 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 Thrash as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
