              TRIBUTE TO GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD RECIPIENTS

                                 ______


                          HON. PETER W. BARCA

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. BARCA of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to salute 
three outstanding young women who have been honored with the Girl 
Scouts of the U.S.A. Gold Award by the Badger Council of Girl Scouts in 
Beloit, WI. They are Senior Girl Scouts of Girl Scout Troop 456.
  They are being honored on May 1, 1994 for earning the highest 
achievement award in Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Award symbolizes 
outstanding accomplishments in the areas of leadership, community 
service, career planning, and personal development.
  Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. has awarded more than 20,000 Girl Scout 
awards to Senior Girl Scouts since the inception of the program in 
1980. To receive the award, a Girl Scout must fulfill five 
requirements: Earn four interest project patches, earn the Career 
Exploration pin, earn the Senior Girl Scout Leadership Award, earn the 
Senior Girl Scout Challenge, and design and implement a Girl Scout 
Award project.
  As members of Badger Council of Girl Scouts, Rachel Smith, Sonja 
Stenli, and Sara Wille began working toward the Girl Scout Gold Award 
in January 1994. The completed project involved community service and 
positive developmental skills for younger children, as well as 
satisfaction in the value of their efforts. This valuable learning 
experience for these three young women will continue to benefit many 
younger children and the community.
  Mr. Speaker, I wanted to commend these young women on this 
significant honor.
