H.R. No. 700
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Brady Jones of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 451
in Lewisville 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. Jones earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully
completed an ambitious Eagle Scout project, which involved
constructing a SWAT training conex box for the Lewisville Police
Department; in addition to helping weld, paint, and otherwise build
the structure, he and his troop had to raise approximately $3,000 to
cover the cost of the materials; and
WHEREAS, The son of Shannon Anderson, 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, His dedication to excellence and perseverance in the
pursuit of his goals have proven Eagle Scout Jones 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 Brady Jones 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 Jones as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
