                               RESOLUTION


 
 Designating the week of March 9 through March 15, 2003, as ``National 
                           Girl Scout Week''.

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 
        strength of the United States depends, the Girls Scouts has 
        significantly contributed to the advancement of the United States;
Whereas the Girl Scouts is the preeminent organization for girls, dedicated to 
        inspiring girls and young women to become model citizens in their 
        communities with the highest ideals of character, conduct, and service 
        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--
            (1) designates the week of March 9 through March 15, 2003, 
        as ``National Girl Scout Week''; and
            (2) requests the President to issue a proclamation 
        designating such week as ``National Girl Scout Week'' and 
        calling on the people of the United States to observe the 
        anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America 
        with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
