01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution is a non-binding statement by the House that recognizes the Girl Scouts on their 114th birthday and celebrates their programs and achievements. It congratulates recent Gold Award recipients and encourages the organization to keep supporting future women leaders. It does not change federal law, create legal rights, or require action by the Senate or the President.

Passage rules

This is a simple House resolution, so it applies only to the House and is not sent to the President. It typically needs only a majority vote in the House and does not have the force of law.

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.

Passage5/100

Measure is symbolic and not a lawmaking vehicle; likely adopted in chamber but not intended or necessary to become law.

CredibilityAligned

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.
