                         GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARDS

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 10 
Girl Scouts from the Sixth Congressional District of Georgia for 
earning the highly coveted Girl Scout Gold Award.
  Through hard work, dedication and perseverance, Kathryn Cook, Kristen 
Crawford, Aimee Jarvis, Amy Kroeger, Tera Lekan, Elizabeth Roddy, 
Brittany Scott, Michelle Teplis, Kelly Watson, and Jordan Wynn, with 
their community service projects, have positively affected, literally, 
the world.
  Collecting school supplies to donate to young Iraqi students, sewing 
and stuffing 250 teddy bears for pediatric and emergency ward patients, 
collecting and donating essentials to foster care children, and writing 
books for children in both English and Spanish. These are just some of 
the many projects taken on by these girls.
  The Girl Scout program is based on four fundamental goals that 
encourage girls to develop to their full potential, relate to others 
with increasing understanding, skill and respect, develop a meaningful 
set of values to guide their actions and contribute to the improvement 
of society.
  Congratulations to each of these young American girls for their 
accomplishments and for embracing worthy principles. We look forward to 
their continued excellent example and for their future leadership.
