WHEREAS, more than a century ago, native Savannahian Juliette Gordon Low started the movement known as Girl Scouts. Beginning with the first gathering of 18 girls in Savannah on March 12, 1912, Juliette broke the conventions of the time by reaching across class, cultural, and ethnic boundaries to ensure that all girls, including those with disabilities, had a place to grow and develop their talents and leadership skills; and

WHEREAS, the life mission of Juliette Gordon Low was to build girls of courage, confidence, and character; and

WHEREAS, the Girl Scout Leadership Experience encourages girls to develop a strong sense of self, connect to their communities both locally and globally, and feel empowered to make a difference in the world; and

WHEREAS, Girl Scouts offers hands-on, girl-led, and girl-centered learning in STEM, the outdoors, and entrepreneurship and provides abundant opportunities to help girls develop invaluable life skills; and

WHEREAS, the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn, acknowledges each recipient's power and dedication to not only bettering herself but also to making the world a better place for others; and

WHEREAS, more than 59 million American women are Girl Scout alumnae, and 2.6 million girls and adult volunteers are active members; and

WHEREAS, the movement started by Juliette Gordon Low now reaches every corner of the world with Girl Scouts living throughout the United States, its territories, and in more than 90 countries across the globe; and

WHEREAS, today, the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia and Greater Atlanta Councils serve approximately 43,000 Girl Scout members in the State of Georgia.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
