R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Jacob Sprouse of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 668
in Gainesville 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. Sprouse earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his
community; to that end, he led a group in building, painting, and
installing a swing set in the playground area behind the Myra
Volunteer Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, The son of John and Teresa Sprouse, Jacob Sprouse
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; he served as a patrol leader and twice
attended Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico; he looks forward to
serving his country as a member of the U.S. Army; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Sprouse'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 Jacob Sprouse 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. Sprouse as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
