H.R. No. 835
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Andrew W. Killingsworth of Boy Scouts of America
Troop No. 405 in Georgetown 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. Killingsworth has earned 32 merit badges, more than
the requisite amount, and he has successfully completed an Eagle
Scout project of benefit to his community, constructing three bin
disposal centers at Gateway College Preparatory School, where he is
a senior; and
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the
respect and admiration of his fellow scouts as he worked toward the
highest rank that scouting offers; he has spent 82 days and nights
camping at Camp Pirtle, Lost Pines, and Camp Sol Mayer, and he
participated in a Philmont backpacking expedition in 2012; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Killingsworth'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 Andrew W. Killingsworth 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 Mr. Killingsworth as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
