Girl Scouts of the United States of America on its 113th birthday and celebrating its founder…
Resolution agreed to in Senate without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S1864; text: 03/10/2025 CR S1632)
This Senate resolution formally recognizes the Girl Scouts of the United States of America on its 113th anniversary, celebrates founder Juliette Gordon Low, congratulates 2024 Gold Award recipients, and notes the release of a commemorative quarter. It is a nonbinding, ceremonial statement that encourages the organization to continue supporting girls' leadership, STEM, outdoors, and civic engagement.
Liberals emphasize empowerment, inclusion, and STEM outreach benefits
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed symbolic resolution: it clearly states its purpose, uses explicit operative clauses to express the Senate's sentiments, and requires no implementation mechanisms or funding.
