  Mr. FITZGERALD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating several remarkable Girl Scouts from 
Wisconsin's 5th Congressional District for demonstrating leadership, 
creativity, and a commitment to making a lasting impact by earning the 
most prestigious award in Girl Scouting, the Gold Award.
  Gold Award Girl Scouts help their communities and the world by 
identifying a community need, investigating it, devising a plan, and 
leading a team of experts and community members to implement a project 
that produces lasting change. Over the course of 1 to 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 
make the world a better place.
