WHEREAS, Scouts BSA helps young men and women build character, become responsible citizens, and develop their abilities in a wide range of pursuits, and those scouts who advance through the program to its highest rank are rewarded with the Eagle Scout insignia; and WHEREAS, Only about six percent of all Scouts earn the title of Eagle Scout, and Trevor Douglas Veron of Lumberton may now count himself in that select group; in order to obtain this notable honor, specific requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills must be met; Eagle Scouts need to earn at least 21 merit badges, including those in first aid, camping, personal fitness, environmental science, and citizenship; and WHEREAS, An Eagle Scout must also serve as a leader both in his troop and in the completion of a project that is beneficial to a school, religious institution, or community; for his project, Mr. Veron worked with the city to install six benches throughout Lumberton; and WHEREAS, Many Eagle Scouts go on to further distinguish themselves in such fields as business, science, politics, and the arts; among those accomplished individuals who have achieved Eagle Scout status are astronaut Neil Armstrong, President Gerald Ford, jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, film director Steven Spielberg, and entrepreneur Sam Walton; and WHEREAS, The Eagle Scout program fosters self-reliance, initiative, and resourcefulness, and those same qualities that enable a scout to attain this prestigious rank will be invaluable assets to Trevor Veron on the road ahead; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate Trevor Douglas Veron 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. Veron as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
