R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Bailey Franklin of Boy Scouts of America Troop
No. 155 in Georgetown 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

Mr. Franklin earned 33 merit badges, and he successfully completed
an Eagle Scout project that involved building an earthen staircase
connecting Chautauqua Park to the San Gabriel River Trail; and
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, serving his
fellow troop members as senior patrol leader, chaplain's aide, and
troop guide; he has also been named a Top Scout for Troop 155, and he
is a recipient of the Arrow of Light Award; and
WHEREAS, A freshman at West Texas A&M University,
Mr. Franklin is studying animal science and plans to become a
ruminant nutritionist; he has earned the prestigious Gold Award for
his exemplary efforts with the Williamson County 4-H, and he is a
valued congregant at First Baptist Church Georgetown; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Franklin'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, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Bailey
Franklin 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 Mr. Franklin as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
