                IN HONOR OF THE JERSEY SHORE GIRL SCOUTS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN H. ADLER

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 15, 2010

  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore who are being honored as the 2010 
Women Advocate of the Year by the Ocean County Advisory Commission on 
the Status of Women. More than 15,000 girls between the ages of 5 and 
17 belong to the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. With the help of 
6,000 adult volunteers, they become successful women of courage, 
confidence and character.
  As our nation moves forward into the 21st century, it is clear we 
will need women leaders and problem solvers to keep our nation 
prosperous. At an early age, the Girl Scouts program instills in our 
women a sense of pride, leadership and community. The Girl Scouts of 
the Jersey Shore prepares the young women of Ocean County to be our 
nation's next business, civic and community leaders. As the Women 
Advocate of the Year, the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore are well on 
their way to ensuring a bright future for our state and nation.
  By providing quality programs and important community services, the 
Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore represent a distinct group of women 
here in the third district. I am proud to represent them here in 
Congress and encourage them to continue to give back to those around 
them whether through charitable acts or civic duty.
