                        Wednesday, July 2, 2025

  Ms. SCHOLTEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to join 
me in congratulating Adelyn Kim. Adelyn is a member of Girl Scouts of 
Michigan Shore to Shore, Troop 4255. She has exemplified extraordinary 
leadership, innovative problem-solving, and a demonstrated commitment 
to making a lasting, positive impact by earning the most prestigious 
award in Girl Scouting, the Gold Award.
  Gold Award Girl Scouts are recognized as trailblazers who are willing 
to tackle the most pressing challenges facing their communities and the 
world with measurable, sustainable, and far-reaching results. To earn 
the Girl Scout Gold Award, high school-age Girl Scouts must identify 
and investigate an issue they care about, devise a plan, and then lead 
a team of experts and community members to implement a project that 
produces lasting change. Over the course of 1 to 2 years, Gold Award 
Girl Scouts demonstrate significant initiative, commitment, and 
leadership, distinguishing them from their peers. Through their 
resourcefulness and perseverance, they embody the Girl Scout Law to 
truly make the world a better place.
  Adelyn's project, ``The Pink Journal'', in partnership with Community 
Food Club Grand Rapids, addressed the various stereotypes and 
misinformation surrounding periods in our community. Adelyn took action 
by designing and producing digital and printed bilingual period 
information resources. These resources are being shared throughout West 
Michigan, which will have a positive impact on our community for years 
to come.
  On behalf of Michigan's 3rd Congressional District, I congratulate 
Adelyn Kim for achieving the highest distinction in Girl Scouts, the 
Gold Award. I thank Adelyn for her leadership and for making such a 
positive, enduring change in our community.
