This resolution congratulates Riley Bloomgarden, a Girl Scout from Port Washington, New York, on earning the Gold Award, which is the most prestigious honor in Girl Scouts. The resolution highlights that the Gold Award is earned by girls in grades 9-12 who demonstrate exceptional leadership by developing sustainable solutions to local, national, and global challenges. Specifically, Riley completed a Take Action Project entitled "Understanding ADHD as a Positive Strength," which involved addressing an issue of community interest through team-based solutions. The resolution praises Riley for her dedication to Scouting's ideals, her commitment to personal growth, and her potential to become a future leader. By pausing its deliberations to recognize her achievement, the legislative body acknowledges Riley's contributions and commends her as a credit to her family, school, community, state, and nation. The resolution will be formally transmitted to Riley as a commemorative gesture.
