                      GIRL SCOUTS OF RHODE ISLAND

  (Mr. CICILLINE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Girl Scouts of 
Rhode Island, a program that strives to help young girls become model 
citizens.
  In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America, as 
well as National Women's History Month, I'm pleased to recognize the 
contributions that the Girl Scouts have made in Rhode Island where it 
has reached 9,400 girls through its 770 troops in the past year.
  More than just going door to door selling Thin Mints and Tagalongs to 
their friends and neighbors, the Girl Scouts of Rhode Island provide 
young women and girls across our State with the opportunity to take 
part in a group that builds girls of honor, confidence, courage, and 
character who make the world a better place and giving them a 
foundation for success later in life.
  The Girl Scouts of Rhode Island should take great pride in the work 
they do every day.
  I congratulate the Girl Scouts of Rhode Island on their incredible 
work.
