Whereas March 12 is the anniversary of the founding of the Girl Scouts of the
United States of America;
Whereas by fostering in girls and young women the qualities on which the

to others;
Whereas the Girls Scouts, through its prestigious program, offers girls ages 5
through 17 a wealth of opportunities to develop strong values and skills
that serve girls well into adulthood; and
Whereas on March 16, 1950, the Girl Scouts became the first national
organization for girls to be granted a Federal charter by Congress: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
