WHEREAS, Marcos Xavier Palacios 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. Palacios earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved
restoring the sign at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in
Wolfforth and landscaping the surrounding area; and
WHEREAS, A recipient of the Arrow of Light Award in 2007, he
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 a patrol leader, Order
of the Arrow representative, assistant senior patrol leader, and
senior patrol leader; and
WHEREAS, The son of Ruben and Minerva Palacios, this fine
young Texan has distinguished himself outside of scouting as well;
he graduated from Lubbock High School with International
Baccalaureate and High Honors Diplomas and earned multiple
scholarships to the Honors College at Texas Tech University, where
he is currently pursuing degrees in advertising and electronic
media and communication; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Palacios has demonstrated a dedication
to excellence and a perseverance in the pursuit of his goals that
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 Marcos Xavier Palacios 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 Palacios as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
