                 CELEBRATING THE GIRL SCOUTS OF AMERICA

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LEONARD LANCE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 2014

  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Girl Scouts of 
America as the organization celebrates its 102nd anniversary. More than 
60 million Americans, and thousands of young women in my district, have 
been part of the premier leadership organization for girls.
  The mission of the Girl Scouts has been to introduce girls to 
positive role models and experiences. Activities in science and 
technology, business and economic literacy, outdoor awareness and team 
building make them women of courage, confidence and character.
  I applaud the Girl Scouts for more than a century of distinguished 
public service and the girls in my community for their achievements.
