Bill > HC18

This concurrent resolution, a formal expression of opinion adopted by both houses of the Mississippi Legislature, designates the week of March 12-19 annually as "Girl Scout Week" in Mississippi and commends the Girl Scouts of the USA on its 114th anniversary. The resolution highlights the organization's founding in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, its growth into the largest Scouting organization for girls in the United States with over 1.1 million girl members and nearly 2 million total members, and its success in empowering over 50 million alumnae to develop life skills, serve their communities, and build friendships. It also acknowledges the Girl Scouts' role in encouraging girls to explore opportunities in fields like math, science, and technology, and their mission to promote compassion, courage, confidence, character, leadership, entrepreneurship, and active citizenship through the dedication of volunteers and community partners. The resolution further emphasizes the importance of recognizing organizations like the Girl Scouts that empower girls to find their confidence and make positive changes.
