Bill > J00874

This resolution congratulates Liliana Acerra, a Girl Scouts member from Manhasset, New York, on earning the Gold Award, which is the highest and most prestigious honor in Girl Scouts. The resolution highlights the significant achievement by explaining that earning the Gold Award requires girls in grades 9-12 to complete a rigorous set of service, leadership development, and skill-building tasks, culminating in a Take Action Project that addresses a community issue. Specifically, Liliana's project was titled "A Horse of a Different Color" and demonstrated her commitment to driving lasting, impactful change. The resolution praises her for living up to Scouting's ideals, recognizes her as a credit to her family, school, community, state, and nation, and formally acknowledges her accomplishment by pausing legislative deliberations to honor her achievement. The document also resolves to transmit an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to Liliana Acerra.
