This resolution congratulates Kit Panna, a Girl Scout from Tonawanda, New York, on earning the Gold Award, which is the highest and most prestigious honor in Girl Scouting. The resolution highlights Panna's outstanding achievement of creating 350 luggage bags with stuffed animals for children experiencing emergency pickups by Child Protective Services, a project titled "You are Gonna be OK!" that aims to provide comfort and necessities to children in foster care. The resolution praises Panna for exceeding her initial goal of creating 200 bags and working with local organizations like Hillside Children's Center and Erie County Child Protective Services. It emphasizes the significance of the Gold Award, which since 1916 has challenged senior Scouts to create meaningful community projects that demonstrate leadership, service, and skill-building. The resolution commends Panna as a credit to her family, school, community, state, and nation, and expresses confidence in her future accomplishments. Finally, the resolution formally recognizes Panna's achievement and directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to her.
