SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 183
WHEREAS, William Paxton Henke 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,
Paxton Henke earned the requisite 21 merit badges and
successfully completed an Eagle Scout project of benefit to his
community; with a team of 18 volunteers, he remodeled the
restroom in the Commemorative Air Force Museum at Stinson
Municipal Airport in San Antonio, making the facilities more
user-friendly for visitors; and
WHEREAS, The son of John and Arminda Henke, 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; in addition, he has served his troop as
historian and patrol leader and is a member of the Order of the
Arrow; a junior at Falls City High School, he plans to join the
U.S. Coast Guard after graduation; and
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Henke'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 William Paxton Henke 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. Henke as an expression of high regard from the
Texas Senate.
