 RESOLUTION

 Recognizing Girl Scouts of the United States of America on its 113th 
 birthday and celebrating its founder, Juliette Gordon Low, and the 
legacy of providing girls with a secure and inclusive space where they 
 can explore their world, build meaningful relationships, and have 
 access to experiences that prepare them for a life of leadership.

Whereas March 12, 2025, marks the 113th anniversary of Girl Scouts of the United 
 States of America, whose mission is to ``build girls of courage, 
 confidence, and character, who make the world a better place'';
Whereas Girl Scouts offers girls 21st century programming in science, 
 technology, engineering, and math

    (STEM) , the outdoors, 
 entrepreneurship, and beyond, helping girls develop invaluable life 
 skills through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience;
Whereas more than 50,000,000 women--trailblazers, visionaries, and leaders--are 
 Girl Scout alums who embody the Girl Scout mission every day;
Whereas the Girl Scout movement began on March 12, 1912, when Juliette ``Daisy'' 
 Gordon Low, a native of Savannah, Georgia, organized a group of 18 girls 
 and provided them with the opportunity to develop physically, 
 intellectually, socially, and spiritually;
Whereas public service and civic engagement were a cornerstone of the life of 
 Juliette Gordon Low, and they remain an important part of the Girl Scout 
 experience, with programming designed to encourage girls to learn about 
 Federal, State, and local government, to research their elected 
 officials and engage with those officials, and to become civically 
 minded individuals equipped with the tools to make a positive change in 
 the world;
Whereas the commitment of the Girl Scouts to getting girls outdoors, including 
 exciting summer camp experiences, comes from Juliette Gordon Low's 
 lifelong appreciation for nature and the environment;
Whereas Juliette Gordon Low utilized her extensive network of friends across the 
 country and around the world to establish the foundation of the Girl 
 Scout movement, creating opportunities for girls to form lifelong 
 friendships with fellow Girl Scouts;
Whereas Juliette Gordon Low, who served as the movement's worldwide ambassador 
 and the first Girl Scout Global Citizen, believed in the power of global 
 connections and the ability of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to positively 
 impact their communities and the world;
Whereas, on March 25, 2025, the Juliette Gordon Low Commemorative Quarter will 
 be released into circulation by the United States Mint, celebrating the 
 enduring legacy of the Girl Scout founder and the Girl Scout movement; 
 and
Whereas Juliette Gordon Low's journey from trailblazing leader to a face on the 
 currency of the United States is a testament to the power of girls and 
 women everywhere: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Senate--

    (1) recognizes Girl Scouts of the United States of America 
 for 113 years of building girls of courage, confidence, and 
 character, who make the world a better place;

    (2) congratulates all Girl Scouts who earned the Gold Award 
 in 2024;

    (3) commemorates the trailblazing founder of Girl Scouts of 
 the United States of America, Juliette Gordon Low, for making 
 her mark on the currency of the United States; and

    (4) encourages Girl Scouts of the United States of America 
 to continue to champion the ambitions, nurture the creativity, 
 and support the talents of future women leaders.
