H.R. No. 266
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Anthony Reyes of Kountze has attained the rank of
Eagle Scout, and this accomplishment truly merits special
recognition; and
WHEREAS, 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. Reyes, of Boy Scout Troop No. 88, earned the requisite 21 merit
badges and completed an Eagle Scout project benefiting Southeast
Texas law enforcement officers; for the latter endeavor, he
constructed steel target stand holders in a concrete slab base at
the firearms training facility of the Beaumont Police Department;
the firing range is used not only by the department but also by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and other local agencies; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Reyes is a homeschool student who enjoys playing
chess, studying martial arts, and participating in outdoor
activities; he is assistant lead altar server at Infant Jesus
Catholic Church, where he plays bass guitar in the youth band and is
a member of the youth group; he also assists Bishop Curtis J.
Guillory, of the Diocese of Beaumont, as an episcopal altar server;
and
WHEREAS, The son of Joseph and Orfanery Reyes, 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 scouting offers; his future plans include serving his country
in the U.S. Air Force and earning a degree in agriculture; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Reyes'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 Anthony Reyes 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 Reyes as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
