SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 640
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Benton Tyler Ward for achieving the rank of
Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, This fine young man is a member of the Boy Scouts
of America in San Antonio; as he joins the elite corps of Eagles,
he will receive the coveted Eagle Badge at a Court of Honor; and
WHEREAS, Few achieve this distinguished honor; only a
small percentage of boys in the Scouts BSA program attain the
rank of Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, Following the principles of the Scout oath and
promise, Benton advanced through the ranks of Tenderfoot,
Second, First, Star, and Life classes before reaching Eagle
Scout; and
WHEREAS, This personable young man displayed leadership
through planning, developing, and conducting a service project
that benefited his community; for his project, Benton led a group
of Scouts and volunteers that built a granite pathway,
predator-proof chicken coops, and a rabbit hutch at Camp CAMP,
which is a camp designed for children with special needs, in
Center Point; he is truly a shining example to his fellow Scouts
and to the young people of Texas; and
WHEREAS, By becoming an Eagle Scout, Benton has brought
great honor to himself, his family, his troop, his community, and
his state; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby commend Benton Ward on receiving this
prestigious honor and congratulate him on his outstanding
achievement; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Eagle Scout Ward as an expression of esteem from the Texas
Senate.
