H.R. No. 864
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Charles David Kirkham of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 520 in Arlington 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. Kirkham earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project, which involved
making improvements to a house used by Anglican Student Ministries
at The University of Texas at Arlington; 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
logged 100 miles of hiking to earn the 100 Miler Award, and he is a
member of the Order of the Arrow; additionally, he is a recipient of
the High Adventure Triple Crown Award for his completion of high
adventure programs at three BSA national bases; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Kirkham'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 Charles David Kirkham on attaining
the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him sincere best wishes for
the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Kirkham as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
