Senate Resolution 152 recognizes Boy Scout Troop 9 of Austin on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, celebrated on September 2, 2017. Established in May 1917, the troop has a longstanding history of promoting the values of scouting and has produced 62 Eagle Scouts among its ranks. The resolution pays tribute to the troop's commitment to developing young leaders and its contributions to the community through various service projects.
While the resolution is affirmatively supportive of the Boy Scouts, it reflects a celebration of traditional values associated with scouting.
