WHEREAS, Collin Clark of Boy Scouts of America Troop No. 668 has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, and this accomplishment truly merits special recognition; and WHEREAS, Receiving the Eagle Scout badge is a significant honor, one bestowed on only a small fraction of those who enter the scouting movement; in the course of meeting the rank's demanding criteria, Mr. Clark earned the requisite 21 merit badges and successfully completed an Eagle Scout project in which he repaired, replaced, and repainted playground equipment in the community of Myra; and WHEREAS, The son of Jason and Brenda Clark, this fine young Texan is the seventh member of his family to rise to the rank of Eagle Scout; Mr. Clark 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, A 2016 graduate of Lindsay High School, Mr. Clark plans to continue his education at North Central Texas College and at Stephen F. Austin State University; he hopes to earn a degree in forestry and eventually become a park ranger; and WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Clark'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 85th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate Collin Clark 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. Clark as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
