|
|
fellow troop members as senior patrol leader, chaplain's aide, and |
|
|
troop guide; he has also been named a Top Scout for Troop 155, and he |
|
|
is a recipient of the Arrow of Light Award; and |

ruminant nutritionist; he has earned the prestigious Gold Award for |
|
|
his exemplary efforts with the Williamson County 4-H, and he is a |
|
|
valued congregant at First Baptist Church Georgetown; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Franklin'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 |
