            RECOGNIZING JENNA DE LA ROSA-GALEY'S GOLD AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. MELANIE A. STANSBURY

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 13, 2025

  Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to join 
me in congratulating Jenna de la Rosa-Galey. Jenna is a member of Girl 
Scouts of New Mexico Trails, Troop 91, and has exemplified 
extraordinary leadership, creativity, and demonstrated a commitment to 
making a lasting impact, by earning the most prestigious award in Girl 
Scouting, the Gold Award.
  Gold Award Girl Scouts are recognized as trailblazers who are willing 
to tackle the most pressing challenges facing their communities and the 
world with measurable, sustainable, and far-reaching results. To earn 
the Girl Scout Gold Award, high school-age Girl Scouts must identify 
and investigate an issue they care about, devise a plan, and then lead 
a team of experts and community members to implement a project that 
produces lasting change. Over the course of 1-2 years, Gold Award Girl 
Scouts demonstrate significant initiative, commitment, and leadership, 
distinguishing them from their peers. Through their resourcefulness and 
perseverance, they embody the Girl Scout Law to truly make the world a 
better place.
  Jenna's project, ``Rubber Band Bracelets: You CAN Make Them'', in 
partnership with organizations dedicated to Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) 
awareness was an excellent endeavor to promote well-being in our 
community. Jenna took action by developing a creative and therapeutic 
coping mechanism, teaching children who also live with PWS how to make 
rubber band bracelets, and filming an instructional video, which will 
have a positive impact on our community for years to come.
  On behalf of the 1st Congressional District of New Mexico, 
congratulations to Jenna de la Rosa-Galey for her efforts put forth in 
achieving the highest distinction in Girl Scouts, the Gold Award. I 
thank Jenna for all the hard work she has done for our community.
