H.R. No. 1444
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Parker Ritchey of Scouts BSA Troop No. 279 in El
Paso 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
movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding criteria,
Mr. Ritchey earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community, which
involved providing Thanksgiving meals to local residents; and
WHEREAS, This fine young Texan has demonstrated outstanding
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, winning the
respect and admiration of his fellow troop members as he worked
toward the highest rank that the organization offers; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Ritchey'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 88th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Parker Ritchey 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. Ritchey as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
