                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 19, 2012

  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I 
congratulate the Girl Scouts of America on reaching your 100th 
Anniversary. This is truly a great organization that is dedicated to 
enriching the lives of girls across the globe. For over a century, the 
Girl Scouts have promoted strong and successful girls and helped them 
along the way to becoming proud and prominent women.
  New Hampshire is proud to have the Girl Scouts of the Green and White 
Mountains teach our young ladies new and varied skills from archery and 
camping, to engineering and banking. With the well rounded merit badge 
system and great role models, many of these girls discover and explore 
techniques they would otherwise miss. Our communities have been 
immeasurably impacted by the good deeds the scouts do while earning 
badges and working toward the highest achievement of the Gold Award, 
and I commend them for their great success and the influence they have 
had on the public.
  I congratulate the Girl Scouts of America for their continued 
dedication and leadership to the girls of our nation and the Granite 
State. I wish you all the best for continued success in the future.
