H.R. No. 437
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Colton Engle of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 181
in Lumberton 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. Engle earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community; and
WHEREAS, 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; and
WHEREAS, A senior at Lumberton High School, Mr. Engle has
further distinguished himself by playing tuba in the school band,
serving as senior class president, and participating in choir,
theater, and the National Honor Society; after graduation, he plans
to serve with the U.S. Coast Guard before pursuing a career as a
history professor; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Engle'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 Colton Engle on achieving this
prestigious rank 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. Engle as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
