                   RECOGNIZING 75 YEARS OF CAMP WAHI

                         Tuesday, March 3, 2026

  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the importance of 
Girl Scout Camps and the impact they have on young women and to honor 
Camp Wahi, in my hometown of Brandon, Mississippi, for celebrating 75 
years of sisterhood, tradition, and shared memories.
  Camp Wahi in Brandon was originally funded and built from proceeds 
from local Girl Scout cookie sales. From its land purchase in 1949 
until today, the local council has set aside funds to maintain 156 
acres.
  This milestone highlights the lasting impact that Girl Scouts of 
Greater Mississippi and Camp Wahi have made on the girls and young 
women who have and will continue to spend time at this loved place. I 
commend the volunteers whose leadership and commitment to instilling 
skills, confidence, and resourcefulness in campers has created a 
positive environment for generations of young women. I am proud to 
represent Camp Wahi in the U.S. House of Representatives and wish it 
much success in the future.
