  Mr. BOYD. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate twelve outstanding 
young women from the Girl Scout Council of the Apalachee Bend who were 
honored with the Girl Scouts of the United States of America Gold 
Award. Linda F. Brown, Cheryl Leigh Collins, Katie Copeland, Lucy 
Donnellan, Elizabeth Fraser, Amber Lanier, Ashley Luten, Antonia 
McDonald, Francesca Simmons, Jessica Stewart, Patricia Welch, and 
Jennifer E. Weldon have now become a part of the elite few who have 
earned the highest achievement award in Girl Scouts, the Gold Award.
  This prestigious award symbolizes outstanding accomplishments in the 
areas of leadership, community service, career planning, and personal 
development. I hope that they each will share with their communities 
the knowledge and experience they gained throughout their years as Girl 
Scouts.
  On behalf of the citizens of North Florida, I want to express my 
appreciation for the patriotism and dedication of these young women and 
confidence in their leadership and ability to guide our communities to 
a brighter tomorrow.
