                CONGRATULATING THE OKLAHOMA GIRL SCOUTS

 Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I am honored today to congratulate 
19 girls from Oklahoma for receiving the highest youth award in Girl 
Scouting, the Gold Award. I would like to honor Jamie Andrews, Tiffany 
Marie Cathey, Anna Elizabeth Davis, Alonna Marie Dray, Bridget Gibbons, 
Ashley Goodman, Justinn N. Hamby, Molly Elizabeth Henry, Laura Hopkins, 
Beth Johnson, Grace E. Lewis, Pammy Mackiewicz, Sarah Pierce, Alexanne 
E. Schallner, Haley Taylor, Joy-Lee Stowe, Kimberly L. Watson, Kaitlyn 
Willit, and Alicia Koch.
  Girl Scouts of the USA, an organization serving more than 2.5 million 
girls, has awarded more than 25,000 Girl Scout Gold Awards to Senior 
Girl Scouts since the beginning of the program in 1980. To receive the 
award, a Girl Scout must fulfill four requirements: earn the Girl Scout 
Gold Leadership Award, earn the Girl Scout Gold Career Award, earn the 
Girl Scout Gold Become, Belong, Believe, Build Award, and design and 
implement a Girl Scout Gold Award Project. They also have to complete a 
plan for fulfilling the requirements of the award and follow through 
with close cooperation between a community consultant and an adult Girl 
Scout volunteer.
  The Gold Award symbolizes outstanding accomplishments in the areas of 
leadership, community service, career planning, and personal 
development. In achieving this prestigious award these young women show 
their dedication and commitment to their families, community, the Girl 
Scouts, and their country. I am honored to congratulate these 
recipients of this award from the State of Oklahoma.
