SR112: SR112 Girl Scout Day; recognize February 6, 2025

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It recognizes February 6, 2025, as Girl Scout Day at the state capitol and honors the Girl Scouts, a youth organization founded in Savannah by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912. The resolution recounts the organization's history, its mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, and its reach today, citing about 43,000 Girl Scout members in Georgia and millions of members and alumnae nationwide. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press. It does not create any new law, funding, or requirement beyond this symbolic recognition.
