H.R. No. 1486
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Scouts BSA helps young men and women build
character, become responsible citizens, and develop their
abilities in a wide range of pursuits, and those scouts who advance
through the program to its highest rank are rewarded with the Eagle
Scout insignia; and
WHEREAS, Only about six percent of all Scouts earn the title
of Eagle Scout, and Trevor Douglas Veron of Lumberton may now count
himself in that select group; in order to obtain this notable honor,
specific requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and
outdoor skills must be met; Eagle Scouts need to earn at least 21
merit badges, including those in first aid, camping, personal
fitness, environmental science, and citizenship; and
WHEREAS, An Eagle Scout must also serve as a leader both in
his troop and in the completion of a project that is beneficial to a
school, religious institution, or community; for his project,
Mr. Veron worked with the city to install six benches throughout
Lumberton; and
WHEREAS, Many Eagle Scouts go on to further distinguish
themselves in such fields as business, science, politics, and the
arts; among those accomplished individuals who have achieved Eagle
Scout status are astronaut Neil Armstrong, President Gerald Ford,
jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, film director Steven Spielberg, and
entrepreneur Sam Walton; and
WHEREAS, The Eagle Scout program fosters self-reliance,
initiative, and resourcefulness, and those same qualities that
enable a scout to attain this prestigious rank will be invaluable
assets to Trevor Veron on the road ahead; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Trevor Douglas Veron 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. Veron as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
