Bill > HR4683

This resolution, originating from the House of Representatives, formally recognizes the Girl Scouts for their significant contributions to the youth of the state and their role in cultivating future leaders. It highlights the organization's long history, founded over a century ago by Juliette Gordon Low, which has empowered millions of young women by fostering leadership, skill-building, and community service, particularly during times when women's societal roles were more limited. The resolution acknowledges that a substantial portion of adult women in the United States were once Girl Scouts and emphasizes the organization's crucial function in providing after-school and out-of-school programs that help girls develop into innovators, change-makers, and leaders. Furthermore, it commends the Girl Scouts for their mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who are motivated to improve the world, and for their efforts in developing lifelong community relationships and essential skills for adult success, including civics education and service opportunities that deepen their understanding of democracy and encourage community involvement.
