                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 27, 1996

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, since 1980, the Girl Scout Gold Award has 
been the highest award that a Senior Girl Scout can earn. In the Sixth 
District North Carolina, we are proud to announce that 88 members of 
the Tarheel Triad Girl Scout Council have earned this prestigious 
honor.
  The Gold Award is the most highly valued honor in Girl Scouting. The 
potential honoree must spend 2 to 3 years committing herself to hard 
work in order to obtain a Gold Award. Her efforts must express a 
special dedication to personal growth, helping her community and her 
world, and to her future.
  To receive the award, a Girl Scout must earn four Interest Project 
Patches, the Career Exploration Pin, the Senior Leadership Award, and 
the Girl Scout Senior Challenges. She must also design and implement a 
Girl Scout Gold Award project that takes a minimum of 50 hours to 
complete. A plan for fulfilling these requirements is created by the 
Senior Girl Scout, an adult advisor, and the community in which she 
lives.
  We are pleased to state that the following Girl Scouts from the 
Tarheel Triad Girl Scout Council of North Carolina have achieved the 
ultimate success--the Gold Award.
