SENATE RESOLUTION 120--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

  Ms. DUCKWORTH (for herself, Ms. Collins, Mrs. Shaheen, Mr. Barrasso, 
Ms. Hassan, Ms. Cortez Masto, Mrs. Capito, and Mr. King) submitted the 
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the 
Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 120

       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.
