Recognizing Girl Scouts of the United States of America on its 114th birthday and celebrating its legacy of providing girls with a secure and inclusive space where they can explore their world…
Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This House resolution recognizes the Girl Scouts of the United States of America on its 114th birthday, celebrates its programs and legacy, congratulates 2025 Gold Award recipients, and encourages the organization to continue fostering girls' leadership.
It references World Thinking Day 2026 and a July 2026 convention in Washington, DC, but contains no funding or regulatory changes.
Measure is symbolic and not a lawmaking vehicle; likely adopted in chamber but not intended or necessary to become law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative House resolution that clearly states its purpose and uses standard resolution language to recognize and congratulate the Girl Scouts; the level of detail is appropriate for an expression of sentiment.
