SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 776
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Jacob Barker of Boy Scout Troop 405 in Georgetown for
achieving the rank of Eagle Scout; this fine young man joined
the elite corps of Eagles recently and is being presented the
coveted Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and
WHEREAS, Few achieve this distinguished honor; only a
small percentage of boys in the Boy Scout program attain the rank
of Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and
promise, Jacob advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second,
First, Star, and Life classes before reaching Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, This personable young man displayed leadership
through planning, developing, and conducting a service project
that benefited his community; he restored the memorial garden at
Forbes Middle School, a project that took more than 200 hours to
complete; he is truly a shining example to his fellow Scouts and
the young people of Texas; and
WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Jacob has brought
great honor to himself, his family, his troop, his community, and
his state; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend Jacob Barker on receiving this
prestigious honor and congratulate him on his outstanding
achievement; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Eagle Scout Barker as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
