H.R. No. 1447
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Collin Clark of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 668
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, one bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the
scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding
criteria, Mr. Clark earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project in which he repaired,
replaced, and repainted playground equipment in the community of
Myra; and
WHEREAS, The son of Jason and Brenda Clark, this fine young
Texan is the seventh member of his family to rise to the rank of
Eagle Scout; Mr. Clark has demonstrated outstanding leadership
ability throughout his scouting career, winning the respect and
admiration of his fellow troop members as he worked toward the
highest rank that the organization offers; and
WHEREAS, A 2016 graduate of Lindsay High School, Mr. Clark
plans to continue his education at North Central Texas College and
at Stephen F. Austin State University; he hopes to earn a degree in
forestry and eventually become a park ranger; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Clark'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 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Collin Clark 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. Clark as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
