H.R. No. 240
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Homero Hernandez of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 84 in Mission has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this
accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and
WHEREAS, 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. Hernandez earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which
involved replacing invasive plants with native trees and shrubs at
the McAllen Nature Center; and
WHEREAS, The son of Jesus Gustavo and Dalia R. Perez, this
fine young Texan 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; a member of the Order of the Arrow, he
has served his troop as assistant patrol leader, patrol leader,
assistant senior patrol leader, senior patrol leader, OA troop
representative, and junior assistant scoutmaster; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Hernandez is a junior at Veterans Memorial High
School, where he plays tuba in the marching band; possessed of a
generous spirit, he has given freely of his time and energy during
food drives and beautification projects, and he has served as a
volunteer with vacation Bible school, area animal shelters, and the
local library; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Hernandez'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 Homero Hernandez 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 Eagle Scout Hernandez as an expression of high regard
by the Texas House of Representatives.
