In plain language

The resolution recounts the history of the Girl Scouts, notes that about 43,000 Girl Scout members currently live in Georgia, and commends the organization for building girls' courage, confidence, and character through leadership, STEM, outdoor, and entrepreneurship programs. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press. It does not create any new requirement, funding, or legal change.
