           CENTRAL MARYLAND GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD RECIPIENTS

 Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, each year an elite group of young 
women rise above the ranks of their peers and confront the challenge of 
attaining the Girl Scouts of the United States of America's highest 
rank in scouting, the Girl Scout Gold Award.
  It is with great pleasure that I recognize and applaud young women 
from the State of Maryland who are this year's recipients of this most 
prestigious and time honored award.
  These outstanding young women are to be commended on their 
extraordinary commitment and dedication to their families, their 
friends, their communities, and to the Girl Scouts of the United States 
of America.
  The qualities of character, perseverence, and leadership which 
enabled them to reach this goal will also help them to meet the 
challenges of the future. They are our inspiration for today and our 
promise for tomorrow.
  I am honored to ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
recipients of this award from the State of Maryland. They are the best 
and the brightest and serve as an example of character and moral 
strength for us all to imitate and follow.
  Finally, I wish to salute the families, scout leaders, and the Girl 
Scouts of Central Maryland who have provided these young women with 
continued support and encouragement.
  It is with great pride that I submit a list of this year's Girl Scout 
Gold Award recipients from the State of Maryland, and I ask that the 
list be printed in the Record.
