R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Garrett Epstein of 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

completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which
involved restoring three acres of land in River Ranch County Park in
Williamson County; and

leadership ability throughout his scouting career, serving his
fellow troop members as a chaplain's aide, scribe, assistant patrol
leader, patrol leader, and senior patrol leader; moreover, he is a
member of the Order of the Arrow and a recipient of the prestigious
Arrow of Light Award; and
WHEREAS, A 2017 graduate of Georgetown High, Mr. Epstein was
a member of the school's marching band and tennis team, and he is an
active parishioner of Santa Rosa Catholic Church in Andice; he
plans to attend Texas Tech University in the fall; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Epstein'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 Garrett
Epstein on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Eagle Scout Epstein as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
