                               RESOLUTION


 
Designating the week of March 10 through March 16, 2002, as ``National 
                           Girl Scout Week''.

Whereas March 12, 2002, is the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Girl 
        Scouts of the United States of America;
Whereas on March 16, 1950, the Girl Scouts became the first national 
        organization for girls to be granted a Federal charter by Congress;
Whereas through annual reports required to be submitted to Congress by its 
        charter, the Girl Scouts regularly informs Congress of its progress and 
        program initiatives;
Whereas the Girl Scouts is dedicated to inspiring girls and young women with the 
        highest ideals of character, conduct, and service to others so that they 
        may become model citizens in their communities;
Whereas the Girl Scouts offers girls aged 5 through 17 years a variety of 
        opportunities to develop strong values and life skills and provides a 
        wide range of activities to meet girls' interests and needs;
Whereas the Girl Scouts has a membership of nearly 3,000,000 girls and over 
        900,000 adult volunteers, and is one of the preeminent organizations in 
        the United States committed to assisting girls to grow strong in mind, 
        body, and spirit; and
Whereas by fostering in girls and young women the qualities on which the 
        strength of the United States depends, the Girl Scouts, for 90 years, 
        has significantly contributed to the advancement of the United States: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates the week of March 10 through March 16, 2002, 
        as ``National Girl Scout Week''; and
            (2) requests that the President--
                    (A) issue a proclamation designating the week of 
                March 10 through March 16, 2002, as ``National Girl 
                Scout Week''; and
                    (B) calls on the people of the United States to 
                observe the 90th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the 
                United States of America with appropriate ceremonies 
                and activities.
