SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 182
WHEREAS, Clayton Ross Newman of Scouting America Troop
No. 194 in Pleasanton 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. Newman earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully
completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his community;
working with a team of 23 volunteers, he built a GaGa Ball pit in
Pleasanton River Park, providing local children an additional
option for physical activity; and
WHEREAS, The son of Larry and Haley Pierce, 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; he has held a number of leadership
positions, serving as historian, librarian, and assistant senior
patrol leader of his troop, and he is also a member of the Order
of the Arrow; a junior at Pleasanton High School, he plans to
study mechanics and welding at Universal Technical Institute
after graduation; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Newman'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 Senate of the State of Texas,
89th Legislature, hereby congratulate Clayton Ross Newman 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. Newman as an expression of high regard from the
Texas Senate.
